SESSION IN ENGLISH. In this session of #uncomfortablebooks we'll be discussing Being Mortal by Atul Gawande
About this Event

In this session we will discuss Being Mortal by the writer and surgeon Atul Gawande, a book that explores how modern medicine often fails to address the realities of aging and dying, urging us to rethink what it means to live — and die — well

The session will be coordinated by Eitan Felner.

Spots available: 20 per session

Price: €5 (we offer 5 subsidized spots per session - email [email protected] if you need one).


About #uncomfortablebooks

With this club, we want to step out of our comfort zones and read books that make us confront uncomfortable, sometimes dark topics—topics that we might find daunting or feel reluctant to face, but that we believe are necessary to explore. We hope to come out of these readings, if not transformed, then at least a little less ignorant.

Each month, we will select a book that explores an uncomfortable but necessary topic, available in both Spanish and English, and we will organize two gatherings—one in each language.

Shall we step out of our comfort zone together?
