When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

challenging inspiring reflective tense slow-paced

4.0

Paul's meditation on life and death and the meaning-making process that comes with navigating those two absolutes was both a joy and a slow devastation to listen to. I was especially connected to his mindset regarding the medical profession with my sister currently going through a similar process so the overall premise struck a chord with me. While an abrupt ending, the meaning was not lost on me and I appreciated the decision of his wife carrying on his final testimony. Overall deeply reflective but accessible book.
