When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi (5/5)



What is life?

Paul Kalanithi, a neurosurgeon and a writer, was diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 36. In the memoir When Breath Becomes Air, Kalanithi questions the meaning of life as a neurosurgeon and a patient.


By reflecting on Paul Kalanithi’s experience as both patient and a surgeon, readers can also think deeply about the definition of life and find the meaningfulness of their lives.


I would 100% recommend this memoir to everyone because the memoir can be viewed differently by people depending on their age, gender, or situation.
