When Breath Becomes Air, is about man's relationship with life and death and how we as a society try to grapple with death. Paul, initially found the answers he was looking for in literature where the mind gives the best account of the life it leads. Ultimately however, Paul found his calling in medicine. More specifically, he became a neurosurgeon. The book follows his journey from diagnosis of his lung cancer to eventually the point where he couldn't write anymore. The book ends abruptly, but instead of being jarring, it reinforces the abruptness of life and death that constantly occupied Paul's mind.
In the book, Paul mentions that he had always wanted to write, and when he realised that he did not have that kind of a time frame of years to write, he immediately got to work and gave us the privilege of reading, When Breath Becomes Air.
