At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade's training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, the next he was a patient struggling to live.

When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a medical student asking what makes a virtuous and meaningful life into a neurosurgeon working in the core of human identity - the brain - and finally into a patient and a new father.

What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when when life is catastrophically interrupted? What does it mean to have a child as your own life fades away?

Painful

Such a devastating real story of how a doctor became a patient of a fatal disease that end his very own life. Throughout the chapters in this book, we will learn how much the author suffers from a healthy and ambitious doctor to a poor weakened patient that was waiting his end. He brilliantly illustrated all the suffering and pain that he face after all the struggle to become a doctor. Highly recommended!

When Breath Becomes Air

This book is so beautiful, raw, and real yet Dr. Paul sparkles with a knowing, a hope that makes one able to read on to the end and instead of cry be filled with that feeling one gets on a beautiful fall day when nothing seems impossible. Thank you Dr. Paul and your beloved family for sharing your deeply beautiful, and meaningful life.I highly recommend this Book.
