Dr. Paul Kalanithi’s wrote the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir -- When Breath Becomes Air. Kalanithi was a neurosurgery resident at Stanford and a loving husband when he was suddenly diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. He died two years later at the age of 37, eight months after his infant daughter was born. His critically acclaimed memoir, finished with the help of his widow, Dr. Lucy Kalanithi, is a profound, searingly honest, and ultimately life-affirming meditation on the challenge of facing death and the relationship between doctor and patient.
