At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor making a living treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live.
I loved the overall message of the book - make life as meaningful as you can in the time you have.
At times the book felt quite clinical, although the part written by his wife post his death was written from the heart!
It never felt a self-pitying but is beautifully written and insightful.
