En dybt bevægende erindringsbog af en ung neurokirurg, som står ansigt til ansigt med en terminal kræftdiagnose og prøver at finde svar på spørgsmålet: Hvad gør livet værd at leve, når døden pludselig banker på? Paul Kalanithi var 36 år og på nippet til at afslutte ti års uddannelse som neurokirurg, da han fik konstateret lungecancer i stadie 4. Den ene dag var han en læge, der behandlede de døende, den næste var han en patient, der kæmpede for sit liv. Paul Kalanithi døde i marts 2015, mens han skrev på denne bog. Hans efterladte hustru har skrevet bogens efterskrift.
