A difficult and depressing read, filled with stories we would rather not hear.
Not an easy book to read, but a reality we cannot afford to ignore.

We are all playing a game whose ending is already known.
Being Mortal reframes how I think about the self—not as something fixed to preserve, but as something reshaped by changing conditions.
In my brain health work, independence is often treated as the goal: cognition, function, autonomy.
But if independence is not an end state, then what are we trying to hold on to?
A quiet but important book. Still reading.
