What They're Saying
Critics Review
How We Die is a classic of medical writing. It’s at once scientific and accessible, precise and philosophical, elegant and blunt. Sherwin Nuland introduced a new kind of writing with this book, and his insights sparkle as much now as they did twenty-five years ago. They address not only how we die, but also how we can live. – Andrew Solomon
How We Die teaches and gives us the courage to come to terms with our own death. As difficult as the facts may be, it shows us they are less frightening than our imagination. It is a book that should be read by all. – Julia Samuel, author of Grief Works
About The Author
Sherwin B. Nuland
Sherwin Nuland was a well-known surgeon in the US. He was the author of The Doctors, which explores the ethics of the medical world, How We Die, a bestseller in America and Britain, and The Wisdom of the Body. Dr. Sherwin B. Nuland drew on more than 35 years in medicine and a childhood buffeted by illness in writing How We Die, an award-winning book that sought to dispel the notion of death with dignity and fuelled a national conversation about end-of-life decisions. He died in March 2014 at his home in Hamden, CT.
