"When Breath Becomes Air" is an incredibly sobering memoir from Paul Kalanithi who died in 2015 of the disease. This book was written after he was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. This book is very touching and nerve-awakening, please be aware you may get disturbed while reading this book, if you or your dear ones are going through the same. This book is through his words while he is pondering an important question, we all have 'What is the meaning of Life?' There are in-depth medical terms, diagnosis details, and a lot more about treatment, but it never felt like the book is clinical. I would say it added to the emotional feelings of the reader. Because this book is tough and painful is not the reason enough to leave it halfway. The book is all about relationships and human connection. It's not too much to say- at the end of the book you will feel connected with Paul Kalanithi.
