Über diesen Titel

 #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • OVER TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD

This inspiring, exquisitely observed memoir finds hope and beauty in the face of insurmountable odds as an idealistic young neurosurgeon attempts to answer the question, What makes a life worth living?

“Unmissable . . . Finishing this book and then forgetting about it is simply not an option.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, People, NPR, The Washington Post, Slate, Harper’s Bazaar, Time Out New York, Publishers Weekly, BookPage

An Oprah Daily Best Nonfiction Book of the Past Two Decades • A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Century

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. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformation from a naïve medical student “possessed,” as he wrote, “by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life” into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality.

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.

As the prologue stated you will encounter a beautifully written book with sharp words on life and death. Using the scientific and physician dialect, balanced with philosophy and spirituality you will be drawn into his story and not stop until the end.
Remains one of the best books I have heard lately.

life and death brought together by a journey beautifully told

Very well written. even though it's so tragic there were many parts that made me chuckle. good experience to share, as not many know how dying people struggle, think, love or what they worry about most.

difficult subject well grasped

This book was just perfect. The narrator is excellent too, in the sense that he has the power to convey the words of the author, just as if they were his own. You simply feel every word

Just amazing

in this book paul kalanithi writes about his life and the impact his cancer diagnosis had until his death.. the book is really good but the one thing I can't stop thinking about is his career, the unbelievable stress he had in his job, his attitude to be a "hero" that keeps working even with cancer.. I'm pretty sure this attitude might have killed him.. he does not mention at a singe time to slow down, to reflect on what caused the disease.. in our society stress is the major cause of illnesses and I highly recommend "when the body says no" from gabor mate about the topic.. it was my follow up book to this one..

Anrührend und ehrlich. Das Buch vermittelt überzeugend, dass es ein authentischer Bericht des Berroffenen selbst ist. Ein gut geschriebener Beitrag zu den großen Themen des Lebens und Sterbens und der Suche nach Bedeutung. Spannend von Anfang bis Ende.

I can highly recommend this short and inspiring read! What a story of a honerable human being

So deep and touching

The book was just as good as I expected, taking in regard all the other ardent reviews. The story is about life and death and what makes life worth living. However, I think that the author also wants the readers to understand that you should take care of yourself and the people surrounding you. Please folks, attend your regulat health check-ups! Amazingly nicely written.

a book about a vital topic, greatly written
