When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

emotional hopeful reflective
An odd choice of listen while I was hiking in the Glaciers to be sure, but this has been on my TBR for years and I wanted to check it off. Obviously, this writing and story comes from a deeply tragic place, but I think the way the author chooses to tell it is heartening and hopeful, if a little simplistic. I liked his thoughts about the best and most human ways of patient care the most, and of course the afterward broke my heart in two.
