When Breath Becomes Air (Paul Kalanithi)

Paul was a young neurosurgeon, who graduated from Stanford and was continuing his residency training in neurological surgery when he was diagnosed with a critical illness.

He wrote this book post his lung cancer diagnosis.

Paul comes to terms with his own morality and continues to persist for a meaningful life as a father, spouse and writer even during his last months of remaining life.

He argues that, one can’t ever reach perfection, but one can always believe in an asymptote toward which he or she can  ceaselessly strive towards. The defining characteristic of the organism is striving.

Striving towards a meaningful Goal makes life worth living. And sometimes we realize it when our time becomes limited.
