"When you come to one of the many moments in life when you must give an account of yourself, provide a ledger of what you have been, and done, and meant to the world, do not, I pray, discount that you filled a dying man’s days with a sated joy, a joy unknown to me in all my prior years, a joy that does not hunger for more and more, but rests, satisfied. In this time, right now, that is an enormous thing." 📖 : When Breath Becomes Air ✍️ Paul Kalanithi #whenbreathbecomesair #paulkalanithi #memoirs #lucykalanithi

WHEN BREATH BECOMES AIR by PAUL KALANITHI Paul Kalanithi was at the prime of his life & had a bright future ahead of him as a neurosurgeon. But his cancer diagnosis shattered his dreams of a future he shared with his wife. He shares his triumphs & the despair of his career as a neurosurgeon, the people he managed to save & those he could not. Being young, he never imagined that one day he would be a patient himself. It all stared at a CT Scan. Paul was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer in 2013. He questioned many things, what makes life worth living in the imminent prospect of death, what makes a virtuous & meaningful life, what do you do when there is no future to plan for but only the present to live in? When he heard he contracted cancer, he and his wife Lucy went through IVF to conceive a baby. He pondered about what it meant to have a child when his life was fading away. To extend his legacy, Paul also started writing his book 'When Breath Becomes Air' which exemplifies his initial passion for literature. He completed neurosurgery residency in 2014, & sadly died in March 2015, while working on this book. This is a profoundly touching, poignant & heartfelt memoir that discusses the fragility of life, the sensitive topic of death, its unpredictability & its impact on family, colleagues & community. Paul leaves behind his beloved wife Lucy & their daughter Cady.

인생의 황금기를 접어들기 직전에 모든걸 다 잃게 된다면 어떤 느낌이 들까.. 신경외과 의사인 폴 칼라니티가 폐암 말기 판정을 받고, 서른 여덞에 세상을 떠나기 전까지의 2년의 기록이 이 책이다. 폴 칼라니티의 글도 좋았지만, 이미 고인을 대신해 폴의 아내인 루시 칼라니티가 쓴 에필로그는 정말 읽기 힘들 정도로 슬펐다. ‘죽음 앞에서 인간의 존엄성은 무엇일까?’ 삶과 죽음에 대해 생각 해 보는 책. P.S 1. 폴 칼라니티에 대해 살펴보니 나와 같은 77년생이다. 그리고 2015년까지 살았다. 같은 나이라고 생각하니 마음이 괜히 뒤숭숭하다. 2. 띠우에도 좋은 책 일 것 같아 영문판도 구입했다. #숨결이바람이될때 #폴칼라니티 #책 #책추천 #도서 #whenbreathbecomesair #paulkalanithi

Als adem lucht wordt - Paul Kalanithi ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Dit boek vertelt het aangrijpende verhaal van een neurochirurg die geconfronteerd wordt met de harde realiteit van longkanker. Het werpt een diepgaande blik op de essentie van het leven, dwingend tot reflectie over wat werkelijk van waarde is wanneer de dood dreigend dichtbij komt. Mijn respect voor het beroep van de neurochirurg is aanzienlijk gegroeid door dit boek, dat een blijvende indruk op me heeft achtergelaten. De inkijk in zijn dagelijkse werkzaamheden is fascinerend en werpt een nieuw licht op de moed en toewijding die dit beroep vereist. Paul, de hoofdpersoon, verdient ongetwijfeld een overvloed aan respect. Zijn kracht, vriendelijkheid en intelligentie stralen door de bladzijden heen en maken van hem een bewonderenswaardige figuur. Dit boek zal me altijd bijblijven als een onvergetelijk leeservaring. De epiloog, geschreven door zijn vrouw, voegt nog een extra emotionele laag toe. Het is een aangrijpende afsluiting die zeker niet zonder tranen zal zijn. Zorg ervoor dat je de zakdoeken binnen handbereik hebt wanneer je aan dat deel begint. #alsademluchtwordt #paulkalanithi #whenbreathbecomesair #memoir #biografie #medical #nonfiction #goodreadschoiceaward #randomhouse #boek #lezen #boeken #bookstagram #boekstagram #book #boekentip #books #reading #instabook #booksofinstagram #booklover #boekenkast #lees #leestip #bookworm #booklover #lees #goodreads #kobo

✨ spill the 𝕋𝔼𝔸 challenge ✨ I saw this challenge a LONG time ago and finally got around to doing it (and my baby has had me up since 3am 🙃) 𝕋: a book that 𝕥𝕒𝕦𝕘𝕙𝕥 me something: When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi completely destroyed me—mind, body, & soul (in the best way). It took a lot of reflection and introspection to process my feelings on what I read, but I felt it very much formed me into a better person. It is a powerful reminder that we may not know or understand someone’s story or outlook, but that does not strip us of our ability to take the time to listen and give them the respect & dignity that they deserve as a fellow human being.

"The fact of death is unsettling. Yet there is no other way to live." (Paul Kalanithi) Dr. Kalanithi's memoir shook up my soul. He tells the story of his time serving the dying as a neurosurgeon and neuroscientist, and then facing the reality of death himself. This book gave me a renewed vision for the gift of life. It asked me: What makes life worth living? What do I value? And what if I lived my life based on the answers to those questions? Have you ever read this book? Share your thoughts! *** In "Experiments in Inefficiency" my latest blog series, I share notes from my journey of moving from a life obsessed with efficiency to a life of intentional inefficiency, learning to resist unbiblical cultural and personal pressures to produce in favor of Jesus’ easy yoke.

It has been years (!!) since published; I Love that it popped up in my library as a suggested read though, and wanted to share it back with you. #paulkalanithi sheds light on the difficult discussion of mortality and facing death. @lucygoddard970 ✌️🫶🏻📚 #reread I highly suggest it—it is impeccably relatable. ♥️

When Breath Becomes Air – Paul Kalanithi After finally completing his residency to become a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi is diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. This is his memoir. “I don’t want to die”. After coming face to face with death on a daily basis as a brain surgeon, and knowing on a very deep level that death comes for everyone at some point; when Paul is diagnosed with terminal cancer at a young age- the doctor becomes the patient, and he is not ready to die. Extremely profound, interesting, and heartbreaking – a must read for everyone. In the Foreword the prolific writer Abraham Verghese writes “there was an honesty, a truth in the writing that took my breath away. Be ready. Be seated. See what courage sounds like. Show how brave it is to reveal yourself in this way. But above all, see what it is to still live, to profoundly influence the lives of others after you are gone, by your words.” “Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from relationships we create between each other and the world, and still, it is never complete.” 5 ⭐️ #paulkalanithi #bookstagram #memoir #booklover #booknerd

“Death comes for all of us. For us, for our patients: it is our fate as living, breathing, metabolizing organisms. Most lives are lived with passivity toward death — it’s something that happens to you and those around you. But Jeff and I had trained for years to actively engage with death, to grapple with it, like Jacob with the angel, and, in so doing, to confront the meaning of a life. We had assumed an onerous yoke, that of mortal responsibility. Our patients’ lives and identities may be in our hands, yet death always wins. Even if you are perfect, the world isn’t. The secret is to know that the deck is stacked, that you will lose, that your hands or judgment will slip, and yet still struggle to win for your patients. You can’t ever reach perfection, but you can believe in an asymptote toward which you are ceaselessly striving.” - Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air ✨ This book changed me. I sobbed uncontrollably when Paul’s wife took over the writing after Paul succumbs to his illness. ✨When you work in healthcare, you dive head first into the trauma of others, give your all, then return to your own body when you clock out after your 12 hour shift. You don’t think, yet act instinctively when someone else’s life is in your hands and you’re doing everything possible to keep them breathing. ✨As a nurse I’ve seen diseases take things from people that are more than skin deep. I’ve seen loved ones grieve in one room and celebrate in another in the same hour. I’ve had to provide comfort to others while giving comfort care measures to their loved ones in the bed. ✨ Life is a delicate flower and stepping back to read how Paul grapples with his own mortality is both devastating and eye opening. For him to understand the healthcare system at its core and have to face his own rapidly dwindling life, moves you. Thank you Paul for your dedication to science and to medicine. And to your family ♥️

Rarely has a book or a movie made me cry – this one sure did. I had read this long back, before my time on #bookstagram but this came up more than once in the last few days in certain discussions, so putting my thoughts here too. The true story of Dr. Paul Kalanithi has nothing spectacular in it, if one wants to be fussy. However, the way he faced his death gave me goosebumps in more than one place. Being a doctor himself, he went through his last phase knowing the outcome better than most others around him, but did his best despite it all. While he was suffering and going through it all, physically and emotionally, he thought about family, patients and eventually about himself (if at all). The book made me count my blessings and thank God more than a few times. It also reminded me of how insignificant we all are in the larger scheme of things called life. This is not a great review, but I do not want to give any spoilers and would hope you can read this book sometime if you are reading this review. You will love your life and appreciate having a normal life. That’s something we don’t value enough, tbh! #books #whenbreathbecomesair #paulkalanithi #reallifestories #readwithshashank #throwbackpost

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. 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. #paulkalanithi #whenbreathbecomesair #goodreads #bookstagram #ugandabooks #bookstore #booklover

B: When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi Genre: Memoir Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ This one is a memoir by Paul Kalanithi written when he was fighting cancer. He is also a Neurosurgeon. Published posthumously, this one garnished many praises and accolades. His journey as a resident and dealing with cancer is talked about in this memoir. This book has been in my TBR for a very long time. I first heard this when I attended a ‘motivational’ webinar. I thought this would be heart-wrenching, painful and insightful. I know I shouldn’t speak ill of the dead. But I couldn’t resonate with the writing. It is unfortunate that a talented neurosurgeon is dying of cancer, but it is what it is - I particularly didn’t like this memoir. The writing is good. Maybe, I failed to get emotional. For me, it felt like an informational presentation on cancer and different treatments. I have read memoirs before and they did hit me right in the gut (despite me not having any relatable parts) but not this one. Maybe I’m missing something? Did anyone else find it a bit dry? Or did it leave you wrecked? Hit me in the comments! #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #nonfiction #memoir #paulkalanithi #whenbreathbecomesair #cancer #kahaanisandbeyond

The problem, however, eventually became evident: to make science the arbiter of metaphysics is to banish not only God from the world but also love, hate, meaning - to consider a world that is self-evidently not the world we live in. That's not to say that if you believe in meaning, you must also believe in God. It is to say, though, that if you believe that science provides no basis for God, then you are almost obligated to conclude that science provides no basis for meaning and, therefore, life itself doesn't have any. In other words, existential claims have no weight; all knowledge is scientific knowledge. Yet the paradox is that scientific methodology is the product of human hands and thus cannot reach some permanent truth. We build scientific theories to organize and manipulate the world, to reduce phenomena into manageable units. Science is based on reproducibility and manufactured objectivity. As strong as that makes its ability to generate claims about matter and energy, it also makes scientific knowledge inapplicable to the existential, visceral nature of human life, which is unique and subjective and unpredictable. 👍 Good book. How to describe the power of this book but I am pretty sure it will influence each of you in a different way. #whenbreathbecomesair #paulkalanithi #greatread #booksofinstagram #booklover #bookclub #bookrecommendations #worthtoread #ilovereading #bookworm #ili_bookescape #czytamwszystko #czytadło #czytambolubie

“When Breath Becomes Air” by Paul Kalanith.

It’s a reminder to cherish every moment, love deeply, and seek purpose in our lives. His journey is a testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of insurmountable odds. 💔 This book is a must-read, a meditation on life that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Hey! Heute empfehle ich das Sachbuch „Bevor ich jetzt gehe“, welches von meinem sonst so geliebten Genre abweicht, aber ein dickes Must-Read für jeden sein sollte. Das Buch ist eine Biographie eines an Lungenkrebs erkrankten Neurochirugen.🫶 Das Buch zeigt einen unfassbar starken Kampf voller Integrität um das Leben und beweist wofür wir Leben und was im Leben wichtig ist, auch wenn wir uns ob jung oder spät leider immer dem Tod stellen müssen. Es ist ein Buch, was jeder lesen sollte, auch wenn es oft zu Tränen rührt, aber auch zum Nachdenken anregt. 🥺🥺 „Literature not only illuminated another’s experience, it provided, I believed, the richest material for moral reflection.“ 🤍 Hier der Inhalt des Buches: 💭 Ein bewegendes Memoir und eine inspirierende Antwort auf die Frage: Was macht ein Leben lebenswert? Mit gerade einmal 36 Jahren wird bei Paul Kalanithi, der kurz vor dem Abschluss seiner zehnjährigen Ausbildung zum Neurochirurgen steht, Lungenkrebs im fortgeschrittenen Stadium diagnostiziert. An einem Tag noch Arzt, der Sterbende behandelt, wird er am nächsten Tag zum Patienten, der um sein Leben kämpft. Seine berufliche Karriere, die gemeinsame Zukunft mit seiner Frau Lucy, alles löst sich in Luft auf. Doch Paul gibt nicht auf. Er beginnt zu schreiben: Was macht das eigene Leben lebenswert? Was tun, wenn die Lebensleiter keine weiteren Stufen bereithält? Was bedeutet es, ein Kind zu bekommen, wenn das eigene Leben zu Ende geht? Bewegend schildert der junge Arzt in diesem Vermächtnis an seine Tochter seine Gedanken über die ganz großen Fragen und seinen Abschied vom Leben. #bevorichjetztgehe #whenbreathbecomesair #paulkalanithi #penguinbooks #bookstagram #book #bookblog #bookblogger #buch #buchblog #buchblogger #bookstagramgermany #bookstagramdeutschland #read #reading #reader #lesen #booktok #booktokgermany #literaturherz

I do not think I will see my eighty-third birthday, but I feel there is something hopeful, something encouraging, about having “83” around. Moreover, I have a soft spot for bismuth, a modest grey metal, often unregarded, ignored, even by metal lovers. My feeling as a doctor for the mistreated or marginalized extends into the inorganic world and finds a parallel in my feeling for bismuth. I almost certainly will not see my polonium (eighty-fourth) birthday, nor would I want any polonium around, with its intense, murderous radioactivity. But then, at the other end of my table—my periodic table—I have a beautifully machined piece of beryllium (element 4) to remind me of my childhood, and of how long ago my soon-to-end life began.” MY OWN LIFE I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved; I have been given much and I have given something in return; I have read and traveled and thought and written. I have had an intercourse with the world, the special intercourse of writers and readers.” Gratitude .

Nonfiction Review ☁️ A beautiful reflection on life by Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air is a deeply unforgettable memoir. This book gives readers a medical look into mortality, and how one neurosurgeon to be deals with his own brain cancer. I highly recommend this book to anybody looking for a unique perspective on life, and just how short it can be. It's wonderfully written and I'm glad I read it. ☀️What is your favorite nonfiction book? #paulkalanithi #whenbreathbecomesair #nonfiction #bookstagram #bookish #newbook #bookmail #bookstagramcommunity #bookblog #bookclique #bookbarbie #book #bookishlove #bookblogger #fortheloveofreading #bookstagram #simpleandstill #whatiread #ilovebooks #culturetripbooks #becauseofreading #bookchat #booksbooksbooks

Be ready. Be seated. See what courage sounds like. See how brave it is to reveal yourself in this way. But above all, see what it is to still live A quote from one of my most absolute favorite authors #abrahamverghese, in his forward for #whenbreathbecomesair by #paulkalanithi Looking forward to this book! Photo of me taken with the bighorn basin below 📸: @halfpint406

A poignant tale of Dr. Paul Kalanithi, a brilliant neurosurgeon - neuroscientist who was a few months shy of completing a residency in neurological surgery at Stanford. He was diagnosed with a stage IV lung cancer and the illness had changed everything - his life, his future dreams and ambitions. How do you reconcile everything you wanted to do, hoped to achieve and thought you had all the time in the world to do when you are diagnosed with a terminal illness which has left you with not much time. How do you prioritize and utilize whatever little time you have left? This is the dilemma which confronted Paul, "If I had some sense of how much time I have left, it'd be easier. Tell me three months, I'd spend time with my family. Tell me one year, I'd write a book. Give me ten years, I'll go back to treating diseases..." It is all the more poignant because Paul left his memoir unfinished, unable to finish it on account of his rapidly deteriorating health. Had he not been taken in his prime and had he lived, for one whose "my highest ideal was not saving lives - everyone dies eventually- but guiding a patient or family to an understanding of death or illness", he would have made great contribution as a neurosurgeon and neuroscientist. As a doctor and then as a patient he was fully cognizant of the inevitability of death. Death comes for all of us. He said that Darwin and Nietzsche agreed on one thing - the defining characteristic of the organism is striving. So despite his condition he would carry on living and "ceaselessly striving" until his final moment. #whenbreathbecomesair #memoir #paulkalanithi #neurosurgeon #whenbreathbecomesair🏥💉🔬🔑 #mementomori

To be very honest, I procrastinated for the longest time with this book. I don’t know if it was because I started this book during a vacation and then didn’t feel like getting back to this genre, or it was just the writing. The pace is good, the story line is good too, I am going to be brutally honest- the parts with all the medical terms, sort of got me bored, and I would want to skip the passage, I didn’t, but I really wanted to. On the positive side, this book, ah!! focuses on the most important aspect of life, that is Death, it is at least an important aspect for me which none of us can ‘modify’, but illness, diseases, death, accident- all these terms most of us don’t find comfort in. No wonder most of us tend to live and follow a ‘healthy’ routine, however such aspects as we know are also unpredictable. The author beautifully yet simply describes his journey from the start to the end, with lots of heart aching instances of himself and also other patients and individuals he has come to face with. We could have our entire lives planned out, but we then realise that it could come crashing down in a split second, and when it does happen to Paul, it broke my heart. From this book, I realised how ends can be so very heartbreaking, but even more beautiful, however I really urge y’all to stick to the end and the part where his writes continues and completes the book for him, is so worth reading, you’ll feel so emotional, you cannot miss that feeling. To have someone love you, care for you, cherish you, is the most beautiful feeling. Finally, Doctors. To be able to deal with such traumatic experiences themselves and yet enjoy the significance of their job that can be equally treacherous, soothing and complicated, I applaud them! When his wife says, “Thank you for loving me”, that is the kind of love I look forward to, through sickness and in health 🧡 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #bookreview #books #book #whenbreathbecomesair #paulkalanithi #doctors #lungcancer #cancer #survival #death #bookpost #booklover #bookrecommendations #bookrecs #emotional #emotionalbooks #memoir #fiction #fictionbooks #love #health

I'm reminded of the book When Breath Becomes Air, an autobiographical memoir by Paul Kalanithi. Paul goes on a journey of finding fulfillment and meaning in his life. He studied literature, but eventually turned to medicine and found his calling as a neurosurgeon. Even as he faced a terminal cancer diagnosis, he continued to find purpose in his work and writing. His story is so inspiring. One of perseverance and exploring different passions and pursuits until you find what fulfills you. We are not all given the grace to know what path to take off the bat. That shouldn't stop us from exploring until we discover what makes us come alive. . . . . . #aexioacademy #quote #findyourpassion #careerpath #careerchange #careergoals #legacyofpurpose #whenbreathbecomesair #paulkalanithi #meaningoflife #remotework #wfh #remoteworking #remoteworklife #wfh #workfromanywhere #findremotejobs #findremotework #remoteworkcoach

I found out about this book from @lindsloveslit—def recommend this one as well! #WhenBreathBecomesAir by #PaulKalanithi was a great memoir about him working to become a neurosurgeon and then getting cancer. This book highlights the importance of patient care (both from the author who was compassionate towards his patients given the severity of neurosurgery and then later when he was a patient.) My brother is also a physician, and while I love him,… he’s got terrible bedside manner. It’s gotten better but he will just say the most extreme cases when people ask about something. (The additional stress that ppl get from dealing with drs is unnecessary.) I also appreciate the authors frank journey through his drive to finish med school and how this journey took a toll on his relationships…. How he and his partner had to have difficult conversations about having kids or not after he was diagnosed. I also can’t imagine after so many years of school not feeling the urge to give up (which is also valid) and not continue with residency after such diagnosis. I learned a lot from the author and I’m so appreciative he worked so fiercely on the book. The epilogue written by his partner is also really good context to what else going on and what was missing from the book. ? Is there a memoir you recommend ?

When breath becomes air… I do not know how to explain or review this book, as it is not a novel but a life story of a gifted man (Neurosurgeon) who died because of Lung Cancer and in a very young age. Paul described every stages of his cancer journey; how much he cried when given death sentence, how brave he was even on his last day, and especially the fact that he wanted to write this book and he did but it is sad at the same time a fortune that he couldn’t finish his book but his wife did. Not to give away the exposure but I am sure you all shall end up ugly crying. It is odd how book of someone who is dead; his vision of life can motivate us to live every moment of life and to have understanding of everyone; things they go through… I don’t want to write more, though I want to but people do not read these days😬 However, I highly recommend this masterpiece, read it, understand it and try to be like Paul Kalanithi in some life stages… #read #book #whenbreathbecomesair #life #death #bookreview #paulkalanithi #lucykalanithi

When Breath Becomes Air | Paul Kalanithi | Random House 출판 | 에세이 | 미국 | 2016 One day we are born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second…. Birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it’s night once more - Samuel Beckett 그저 기침이 오래가네 정도로 생각했다. 사진 찍자는 의사의 말에 입원한 그녀는 암소식을 전해왔다. 지난주 집앞에 소방차가 주차했다. 소방관들이 장비를 들고 앞집으로 향했다. 앰뷸런스가 왔다. 앞집 할아버지가 실려 나오시는데, 몇 주 전 뵈었던 모습이 아니었다. 너무나 마른 모습에 다른 분인 줄 알았다. 저녁 산책길 할아버지가 다시 돌아오셨다. 가족에 둘러싸여 인사를 전하지는 못했다. 며칠 후 할어버지는 그렇게 떠나셨다. 갑자기 ‘죽음’이라는 단어가 나에게 훅 다가온 느낌이 든다. 레지던트 마지막 해. 폴은 폐암을 선고받았다. 신경외과 전문의가 되기 위해, 더 나은 의사가 되기 위해 고민하고, 삶과 죽음에 대해 탐구하고자 했던 젊은이는 자기의 꿈을 하나둘 접어갔다. 희망이 하나둘 사라지면서도 끝까지 자신이 무엇을 원하는가를 고민했던 삶. 그는 죽어가지 않았다. 마지막 순간까지 살았다. We would carry on living, instead of dying. (p.144) 와 의 생각이 뒤얽혔다. 버지니아 울프, 로라, 리차드 그리고 폴 그들 모두 자신의 소중한 것을 끝까지 지켜나간건 아닐까? You have to figure out what’s most important to you. (p.165) The secret is to know that the deck is stacked, that you will lose, that your hands or judgement will slip, and yet still struggle to win for your patients. You can’t ever reach perfection, but you can believe in an asymptote toward which you are ceaselessly striving. (p.115) #WhenBreathBecomesAir #PaulKalanithi #randomhouse
