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?
Paul Kalanithi died while working on this profoundly moving book, yet his words live on as a guide to us all. When Breath Becomes Air
is a life-affirming reflection on facing our mortality and on the
relationship between doctor and patient, from a gifted writer who became
both.
