The book "When Breath Becomes Air" by Paul Kalanithi is a powerful and inspiring account of a neuroscientist's journey through cancer and into the depths of his own mind.

When renowned neuroscientist Barbara Lipska's melanoma spread to her brain, it started to play tricks on her. The expert on mental illness, a specialist in how the brain operates, experienced what it is like to go mad. Analyzing the science of the mind and the biology of the brain alongside Dr. Lipska's own extraordinary story, this is a fascinating account of what happens when the brain goes awry.


Oliver Sacks-meets- When Breath Becomes Air, Barbara Lipska's remarkable story illuminates the many mysteries of our fragile yet resilient brains. Lisa Genova, bestselling author of Still Alice and Every Note Played, praised this book as "a powerful and deeply moving exploration of the human brain and the extraordinary ways in which it can both heal and betray us."
