When Breath Becomes Air
I didn't expect to love this one, as I thought it would be too sad. Instead, I found it incredibly inspiring. This book helped me remember what really matters, and what it means to live.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade's worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a naïve medical student into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality.
