Obligatory reading for the living¿ Nigella Lawson At the age of thirty-six on the verge of completing a decade¿s training as a neurosurgeon Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer.

What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when when life is catastrophically interrupted? What does it mean to have a child as your own life fades away? Paul Kalanithi died while working on this profoundly moving book yet his words live on as a guide to us all.
