    About this ebook

    WHEN BREATH BECOMES AIR: By Paul Kalanithi and Abraham Verghese | Summary & Highlights - NOT ORIGINAL BOOK, includes our BONUS Critics Corner

    When Breath Becomes Air is the emotional story of the renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Paul Kalanithi. As he nears the end of his 7-year residency he gets the report no one wants, cancer. Now his forty-year plan is scrapped. The hopes and dreams he and Lucy, his wife, have held to are dramatically altered.

    In this book you will find the story of a man that seeks out truth and meaning in a very detailed way. From his undergraduate literary pursuits to his combined goal of neuroscience and surgery Dr. Kalanithi desires to connect meaning to every aspect of human life.

    As cancer becomes his story the reader will see the emotional decisions made about starting a family and continuing his beloved career. Dr. Kalanithi begins to see how his care for his patients would be altered as he experiences the treatments himself. Through every emotion Paul and Lucy share the love for each other and life.
