When Breath Becomes Air By Paul Kalanithi

In the forward to this book, Abraham Verghese writes that in reading Paul’s words he came to know him, which sums up the experience you get from reading this book.

Paul presents his thoughts on the life he led and the excruciating process of coming to terms with the end of it. While reading his thoughts in this book, I was confronted with how much, as a people, we avoid discussing the universal constant that is death. In avoiding this conversation we are not living, instead we trick our minds into thinking there is more time to do the things that matter to us.

Paul, confronted with his immortality, chose to fill his limited time with the things that mattered to him. He worked within the confines of time available and focused on what he valued, and because of his decision to keep living, we have this book.

I have long since made my peace with death and the simple fact that it is inevitable. On the other hand, living is tricky and I’m learning to make, each day, contribute to things I value and consider important. When Breath Becomes Air presents a roadmap of some sort that teaches me the value of truly living.
