This intimate, in-depth reflection reveals how The West Wing was conceived, and spotlights the army of people it took to produce it, the lifelong friendships it forged, and the service it inspired.

I liked that this book was read and presented by talented actors, Mary and Melissa. They converted a reading to a performance, making it more real and impactful than the words alone could have been. I also liked how heartfelt and value driven were so many of the words and segments. The only thing I didn’t like was that the book came to an end. I would have been delighted if the book, like the series on which it was reporting, could have continued indefinitely.

There have been many books - on a large and small scale - about Steve Jobs, one of the most famous CEOs in history. But this book is different from all the others. Becoming Steve Jobs takes on and breaks down the existing myth and stereotypes about Steve Jobs. The conventional, one-dimensional view of Jobs is that he was half genius, half jerk from youth, an irascible and selfish leader who slighted friends and family alike.

A book about Steve that is up to his standard of elegance

This is the story of the gradual and incomplete evolution of one of the truly great people of our time. The authors have given a wonderful example of good journalism. They have covered many elements of this complex man, lifetime, and industry. There is a feeling of careful balance, with respect for a very human mix of delight and (some) disappointment. I am impressed and grateful. It was a special pleasure listening to this book as it is so beautifully delivered. It felt like the author (the 2 authors chose to write in the first person, which I consider especially appreciate) was speaking directly to me in a very knowledgeable and pleasing manner. If you care at all about the process of creativity, personal technology, or the Apple company, I can't imagine you not being delighted with this book.

In Being Mortal, best-selling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its ending. Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming birth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But in the inevitable condition of aging and death, the goals of medicine seem too frequently to run counter to the interest of the human spirit.

An exceptional exploration of a vital subject!

I've been impressed by and deeply enjoyed all of Dr. Gawande's books and other writings...but none as much as this masterwork. As a doctor myself, I'm inspired by his insightful, humane and tender ways of dealing with the many complex issues related to talking about, managing, and making the most of end-of-life decisions and experiences. In addition to recommending this book to family members and friends, I will make sure that it is front and center as a springboard for reflection and discussion among the educators and students in the multiple new medical schools we are now planning.
