When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

Review: I just read the book WHEN BREATH BECOMES AIR by Paul Kalanithi. It’s the true story of a brilliant neurosurgeon who discovers he has lung cancer. He was only 35 years old. He wrote down his experiences and thoughts as he looked death straight in the eyes.

You can’t live without dying, and Paul takes you as close to death as you can come in a book. It’s a profoundly deep story that both engages and enlightens. It’s not depressing. It’s a brave, bold attempt to make sense of a life cut short and dreams lost.

Rating: ★★★★
