When Breathe Becomes Air is Nonfiction
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi is a great read for sure! It is one of the best books to teach a life long lesson. It talks about how short life is and what in the end it all comes down to -- not the result you expected. Mr. Kalanithi worked all his life to attain the title of Neurosurgeon; yet, after all that, he was diagnosed with stage IV Lung cancer that ended up taking his life. Long story short, his life plans such as developing a happy family with his wife, traveling, and just small happy moments were ended by the sad news of him being diagnosed. All that he had accomplished until now had seemed like it was all going to waste. He felt as though his kids' future would be devastated considering they wouldn't have a fatherly figure around them. Overall, The book taught me the value of every moment spent in life and the people in it -- the closed ones and the ones we don't talk to at all. Life is so short so enjoy it and live it as if you have no time to live life.
