Sobering read. We’re often live in the never never world. Being Mortal is a wake up call to think about your mortality. Talk about it with your loved one and plan ahead, how you want to manage your health out coming. Despite a healthy lifestyle, same decease will attack us and we’re need to deal with it. Good information will help, but your values and needs are an important consideration. The book drives this home through out the book. Good read.
