Product Information

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST * 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 living? "Unmissable . . . Finishing this book and then forgetting about it is simply not an option."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, People, NPR , The Washington Post, Slate, Harper's Bazaar, Time Out New York, Publishers Weekly, BookPage 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 "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 can't go on. I'll 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. Finalist for the PEN Center USA Literary Award in Creative Nonfiction and the Books for a Better Life Award in Inspirational Memoir

Reviews

Advance praise for When Breath Becomes Air "Thanks to When Breath Becomes Air, those of us who never met Paul Kalanithi will both mourn his death and benefit from his life. This is one of a handful of books I consider to be a universal donor--I would recommend it to anyone, everyone." --Ann Patchett "Rattling, heartbreaking, and ultimately beautiful, the too-young Dr. Kalanithi's memoir is proof that the dying are the ones who have the most to teach us about life." --Atul Gawande, "I guarantee that finishing this book and then forgetting about it is simply not an option. . . . Part of this book's tremendous impact comes from the obvious fact that its author was such a brilliant polymath. None of it is maudlin. Nothing is exaggerated. As he wrote to a friend: 'It's just tragic enough and just imaginable enough.' And just important enough to be unmissable." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "Paul Kalanithi's memoir, When Breath Becomes Air, written as he faced a terminal cancer diagnosis, is inherently sad. But it's 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 "Kalanithi uses the pages in this book to not only tell his story, but also share his ideas on how to approach death with grace and what it means to be fully alive." --James Clear, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Habits "Paul Kalanithi's posthumous memoir, When Breath Becomes Air, possesses the gravity and wisdom of an ancient Greek tragedy. . . . 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 it's all heading." -- USA Today "It's [Kalanithi's] unsentimental approach that makes When Breath Becomes Air so original--and so devastating. . . . Its only fault is that the book, like his life, ends much too early." -- Entertainment Weekly "[ When Breath Becomes Air ] split my head open with its beauty." --Cheryl Strayed "Rattling, heartbreaking, and ultimately beautiful, the too-young Dr. Kalanithi's memoir is proof that the dying are the ones who have the most to teach us about life." --Atul Gawande "Thanks to When Breath Becomes Air, those of us who never met Paul Kalanithi will both mourn his death and benefit from his life. This is one of a handful of books I consider to be a universal donor--I would recommend it to anyone, everyone." --Ann Patchett "Dr. Kalanithi describes, clearly and simply, and entirely without self-pity, his journey from innocent medical student to professionally detached and all-powerful neurosurgeon to helpless patient, dying from cancer. Every doctor should read this book--written by a member of our own tribe, it helps us understand and overcome the barriers we all erect between ourselves and our patients as soon as we are out of medical school." --Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death, and Brain Surgery

Not what I thought
This book came with raving reviews, and although it was a good story, it was not what I thought it would be. It's premise was that if a person is faced with a terminal illness, what "living" things should he do before he dies. It is NOT written in the way of completing a "bucket list" of activities. More in the manner of asking questions of one's self such as: Should I continue to work? Should I travel? Should I spend all my time with family and friends? Should we have a baby, since I won't be here to raise the child? The choices Dr Paul Kalanithi make are the foundation of his story. As I read the story of him dealing with stage IV lung cancer, I wanted to hear more about his thoughts on death. Perhaps I was wanting more emotion or to read of his true thoughts on an after life. ... This book came with raving reviews, and although it was a good story, it was not what I thought it would be.

Paul possessed a brilliant mind, he must have seen death many times in his practice, yet he did not delve deeply into the final act of death in his book. He did do a good job of writing about his final months of life. His wife did an excellent job of completing the story of his life. It is tragic that the world had to lose a skilled brain surgeon, of the caliber of Paul Kalanithi. He left the world a better place, by writing When Breath Becomes Air.

Read this one. Worth every minute spent in its pages.
The author is incredibly bright. Articulate. Talented. Able to change from graduate studies in liberal arts to medicine and then to specialization in neurosurgery. Yet he still gets lost in the chase. The mess. The pressure of life, school, books, patients. His personal relationships are failing. He is hitting his goals, but not his aspirations. Then, brain cancer strikes. What was important becomes unimportant. His aspirations come back into focus and remarkable insights tumble in as swiftly as he can write. And the thing is... we KNOW what he is writing is true. We know it makes sense. But we still get lost in the day to day press of... life.

This stunning work should be required reading for ANYONE dealing with patients in medicine. It should be given to anyone facing life a terminal disease. It should be read by anyone who wonders why we humankind is neither... and suffers. It plumbs the depths and manages to make life make sense when finally... "breath becomes air." Read this one. It is worth every minute spent in its pages.

When Breath Becomes Air
When Breath Becomes Air is a must read, I never read a book twice except this one. Almost every family has a loved one with cancer. This author not only writes well, is very educated and tells a compelling story about his journey.

you need this book
I was a hospice volunteer for over 20 years and saw my share of deaths. Paul's account of his life leading up to his death was so moving that i never put the book down. It was that good. His wife finishes the book after Paul's and is just as down to earth as he was; I am crushed that Paul had to die to write this book. I will read it again.
