Review: Remarkable - This book is a must-read. Wonderfully written, the story unfolds when a renowned surgeon receives a diagnosis of cancer. It is a book so honest, the grief will take your breath away. It is also so honest that your heart will soar at the beauty of life. Paul Kalanithi had much he wanted to accomplish in his work life, but even more with his wife and new baby. Dr. Kalanithi's wife, Lucy, who completed Paul's work, is my hero. She wears her grief well and has survived. A blessing. Read this book. It teaches us how to live.
Review: A moving, deeply human reflection on life and mortality - I listened to When Breath Becomes Air on Audible during my commute, and it’s one of those rare audiobooks that stays with you long after it ends. Paul Kalanithi’s story is thoughtful and deeply personal, reflecting on what it means to live a meaningful life even in the face of death. The narration is calm and respectful, capturing both his medical precision and quiet vulnerability. It feels more like being spoken to than being read to, which makes the experience even more powerful. The only small drawback is that a few sections are emotionally heavy, definitely something to listen to when you can focus. Overall, it’s a beautifully written and narrated memoir that I’d recommend to anyone who appreciates introspective, life-affirming stories.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful and informative
*by S***E on December 25, 2025*

I re-read this book after having read it some years ago. It was a good book then, but it meant so much more this time. A little over two years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. Although I have no evidence of disease now, Paul’s story takes on a deeper meaning than it did the first time I read it. I recognize the feelings and thoughts from being diagnosed to going through treatments. It was also helpful to read what his wife experienced, because although my husband spoke to me of his feelings, there are some thoughts he never voiced.
