When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
5.0

This book I started somewhere in April... I eventually got really despondent with all the medical jargon fast forward September I picked it up again and told myself let's give it one more go.

I wasn't sorry, Paul takes you on a journey on his version of life and his understanding of looking at death in the face. A neurosurgeon who is diagnosed with a terminal illness, a doctor becomes a patient. This little book gives you so much insight into Kalanithi's life, his ups and downs, his love for his work family, friends and his battle towards a beautiful ending.

A definite read on a readers book bucket list.
