Why Chosen
Dr. Paul Kalanithi was a friend and colleague. He wrote this beautiful memoir about a life dedicated to science and medicine that ended too soon after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. I will never forget talking to him before his diagnosis about his plans for his future lab and practice. This book perfectly captures the importance of relationships for a happy and successful life.
