À propos de cette écoute

The New York Times number-one best seller.

At the age of 36, on the verge of completing a decade's training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, the next he was a patient struggling to live.

When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a medical student asking what makes a virtuous and meaningful life into a neurosurgeon working in the core of human identity - the brain - and finally into a patient and a new father.

What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when life is catastrophically interrupted? What does it mean to have a child as your own life fades away?

Paul Kalanithi died while working on this profoundly moving book, yet his words live on as a guide to us all. When Breath Becomes Air is a life-affirming reflection on facing our mortality and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a gifted writer who became both.

    "Finishing this book and then forgetting about it is simply not an option.... Unmissable." ( New York Times)

    "When there's no place for the scalpel, words are the surgeon's only tool."
    "Words have a longevity i do not."
    Lines like these often appear in this touching and profound writing, and when they do, the poetry becomes heartbreaking.

    Obviously there are some very sad moments in this book, as is to be expected given the context, but the author also has a beautiful perspective on life and death, talking about his experience of this as a doctor and as a patient. I really recommend listening, for a calm yet prominent reminder that we are all mortal, and should focus primarily on love, gratitude and overall happiness.

    Beautifully written & performed

    I had high expectations for life changing lessons in this book. Instead it was simply a nice story to reflect on. I was a bit teary at the end. worth a listen.

    a lovely story
