1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER For readers of Atul Gawande, Andrew Solomon, and Anne Lamott, this inspiring, exquisitely observed memoir finds hope and beauty in the face of insurmountable odds as an idealistic young neurosurgeon attempts to answer the question What makes a life worth livingNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BYTHE WASHINGTON POST THE NEW YORK TIMES NPRBOOKS FOR A BETTER LIFE AWARD FINALISTAt the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decades 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 Kalanithis transformation from a nave medical student possessed, as he wrote, by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality. What makes life worth living in the face of death What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir. Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015, while working on this book, yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality, in a sense, had changed nothing and everything, he wrote. Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: I cant go on. Ill go on. When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a brilliant writer who became both.Praise for When Breath Becomes AirI guarantee that finishing this book and then forgetting about it is simply not an option. . . . Part of this books tremendous impact comes from the obvious fact that its author was such a brilliant polymath. And part comes from the way he conveys what happened to himpassionately working and striving, deferring gratification, waiting to live, learning to dieso well.Janet Maslin, The New York Times An emotional investment well worth making: a moving and thoughtful memoir of family, medicine and literature. It is, despite its grim undertone, accidentally inspiring.The Washington Post Possesses the gravity and wisdom of an ancient Greek tragedy . . . [Kalanithi] delivers his chronicle in austere, beautiful prose. The book brims with insightful reflections on mortality that are especially poignant coming from a trained physician familiar with what lies ahead.The Boston Globe Devastating and spectacular . . . [Kalanithi] is so likeable, so relatable, and so humble, that you become immersed in his world and forget where its all heading.USA Today Its [Kalanithis] unsentimental approach that makes When Breath Becomes Air so originaland so devastating. . . . Its only fault is that the book, like his life, ends much too early.Entertainment WeeklySplit my head open with its beauty.Cheryl Strayed Review: Paul Kalanithis When Breath Becomes Air is an Paul Kalanithis memoir When Breath Becomes Air begins with a wallop A neurosurgical resident in his final year of training hes examining the CT scans of a When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi Hardcover When Breath Becomes Airhas an aura of the best kind of earnest conversation that kept you up all night in your early adulthoodbut it transcends that potential Discussion Questions: When Breath Becomes Air Random Home of the Random House Reader's Circle Learn about new books get exclusive content and reader's guides and connect with other book lovers When Breath Becomes Air - An Amazon Best Book of January 2016: When Breath Becomes Air is a powerful look at a stage IV lung cancer diagnosis through the eyes of a neurosurgeon When Breath Becomes Air review: A neurosurgeons story of When Breath Becomes Air review: A neurosurgeons story of terminal illness Paul Kalanithis powerful and heartbreaking book is about coming to terms with a Review: In When Breath Becomes Air Dr Paul Kalanithi Dr Paul Kalanithi Credit Norbert von der Groeben When Dr Paul Kalanithi sent his best friend an email in May 2013 revealing that he had terminal cancer Inside A Doctor's Mind At The End Of His Life - NPR In his last two years of life he continued caring for patients He and his wife became parents And Kalanithi a gifted writer wrote a book When Breath When Breath Becomes Air - Lucy and Paul Kalanithi It's a warm autumn day in the northern California town of San Carlos and when Lucy Kalanithi comes to the door of her condo she's dressed in jeans and a denim shirt When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi Reviews When Breath Becomes Air has 134018 ratings and 13676 reviews Maggie said: A gasping desperate powerful little book bigger on the inside than outsid When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi At the age of thirty-six on the verge of completing a decades worth of training as a neurosurgeon Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer
