When Breath Becomes Air

This must be one of the most important books I've ever read; every sentence in this book felt so profound, as if I had to have a new perspective on life. Yes this man was thoroughly gifted (if him being a well read neurosurgeon with great emotional intelligence didn't say otherwise), but this book is more about how one could face death with integrity - even in the worst days of his own life, it could be filled with so much beauty and tenderness.
