What Makes Life Worth Living In The Face Of Death
Bestseller English Book - Paperback - 228 pages
A vital book about dying. Awe-inspiring and exquisite. Obligatory reading for the living. --Nigella Lawson
Rattling. Heartbreaking. Beautiful. -- Atul Gawande, author of BEING MORTAL
A great, indelible book ... as intimate and illuminating as Atul Gawande's “Being Mortal,” to cite only one recent example of a doctor's book that has had exceptionally wide appeal ... I guarantee that finishing this book and then forgetting about it is simply not an option ... gripping from the start ... None of it is maudlin. Nothing is exaggerated. As he wrote to a friend: “It's just tragic enough and just imaginable enough.” And just important enough to be unmissable . ― New York Times
Powerful and powerful. ― The Sunday Times
Less a memoir than a reflection on life and purpose… A vital book. ―The Economist
Extraordinary...Remarkable... luminous, revelatory memoir about mortality and what makes being alive meaningful... Lyrical, intimate, insistent and profound . Kalanithi had the mind of the polymath and the ear of a poet. ―Daily Telegraph
Powerful and poignant … Elegantly written posthumous memoir… Should be compulsory for anyone who intends to be a doctor… A profound reflection on the meaning of life. ― Sunday Times
A stark, fascinating , well-written and heroic memoir. -- Stefanie Marsh ― The Times
Exceptional. -- Katie Law ― Evening Standard
When I came to the end of the last flawless paragraph of When Breath Becomes Air, all I could do was turn to the first page and read the whole thing again. Searingly intelligent, beautifully written, and beyond brave, I haven't been so marked by a book in years. -- Gabriel Weston, author of DIRECT RED
