David Bruce reviewed When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
Review of 'When Breath Becomes Air' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Paul's writing was clear and his story easy to follow. It moves somewhat chronologically through his journey, and while I enjoyed the book and appreciate what he was trying to say, I couldn't quite grasp why this book is as popular as it is.
He's a driven man, certainly ambitious, and comes across as someone who strives to be his best all the time, perhaps some of that seemed unreal to me, because most of us have frailties of some sort. It's like that person in a job interview who's asked what their weakness is, and they answer that they care too much about their work.
