Description
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi is a profoundly moving account of life's most profound questions. At thirty-six, the author was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer, forcing him to confront his own mortality and the meaning of life.
The book chronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a medical student to a neurosurgeon and finally to a patient struggling to live. It is a heart-wrenching exploration of what makes life worth living in the face of death, and how one copes when life is catastrophically interrupted.
Written by the author himself, despite his own mortality, this book offers a unique perspective on facing our mortality and the relationship between doctor and patient. It is a powerful reflection that will stay with readers long after they finish reading.
