I upvoted, but then I felt like that wasn't enough. There is something about this book that seems more real than life. The author not only was a neurosurgeon, but also had a Master of Arts in Literature from Stanford. He is an absolutely incredible and deep writer.

Couldn't recommend it enough.

I think readers might also enjoy 'the diving bell and the butterfly'. 'Tuesdays with Morrie' is another one in this "genre".

Agreed, excellent writing. Really made me think about my life priorities.
