Calificación de Goodreads
Recuerda que vas a morir. Vive es una inolvidable reflexión llena de vida de lo que significa enfrentarse a la muerte. «Cuatro palabras de Samuel Beckett empezaron a repetirse en mi cabeza: No puedo seguir. Seguiré.» A la edad de treinta y seis años, y a punto de acabar una década de residencia para obtener un puesto fijo como neurocirujano, a Paul Kalanithi se le diagnosticó un cáncer de pulmón. Pasó de ser un doctor que trataba casos graves a ser un paciente que luchaba por vivir. En este libro, cargado de positivismo, Kalanithi reflexiona sobre las grandes cuestiones de la vida mientras se enfrenta a la muerte. “La realidad de la muerte es inquietante, pero no hay otra manera de vivir”, Paul Kalaniti
