Event Details
Join us as we read and discuss When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi.
When Breath Becomes Air is a 2016 memoir by Paul Kalanithi, an Indian-American neurosurgeon and neuroscientist who died from terminal lung cancer in his mid-thirties. The book is about Kalanithi's journey from being a doctor treating the dying to becoming a patient facing his own death, and his ideas on how to approach death with grace. It offers a unique perspective on life, death, and the meaning of existence from both a doctor and a patient, and is described as a practical and personal guide to living well.
A limited number of books are available at the circulation desk.
