When Breath Becomes Air [Hardcover]

Overview

When Breath Becomes Air is a 2017 O.W.L. Award Winner in the Health category: http://awards.book-pal.com/.

On the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, thirty-six year old Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. In the blink of an eye, Kalanithi switched roles from a doctor treating the dying to a patient struggling to survive. He chronicles the transformation from a mere medical student pondering the question of what makes a virtuous and meaningful life, to life as a neurosurgeon at Stanford, to a cancer patient and new father faced with his own mortality.

In this profoundly moving and exquisitely observed memoir, Kalanithi provides a reflection on the challenges of facing death and the relationship between doctor and patient - in which he became both. Though he died in March 2015, while working on this book, his words live on as a guide and gift to us all.
