How can we create a better world for our children? What is sacred space and why is it so critical to our wellbeing? What is the real power of an open ended question? How can we be truly vulnerable with our friends? How do we stay deeply connected to who we really are? What is true service to others according to Hindu spiritual teachings? How will the pandemic allow us to rebalance our priorities? Susan Cain generously introduced us and Vivek then gave us the incredible gift of his time … spread out over two interviews across two months and stitched together here. Vivek released his wonderful book Together which went straight to the New York Times bestseller list and was endorsed by Malcolm Gladwell, our guest in Chapter 37 of 3 Books, who said: “Vivek Murthy reminds us that our national conversation about medicine has been too narrowly focused on hospitals, doctors and drugs and not enough on the human connections that sustain us.” Amen!įascinated by his prodigious intellect and dedication to the service of others, I knew I would love to chat with him on 3 Books.
He would then alternate years in medical practice with time in the highest echelons of government. What did he do on the side? He founded VISIONS Worldwide (a not for profit focused on HIV/AIDS education in the United States and rural India) in 1995 and Doctors For America ( which fights for access to high quality affordable health care for the most needy) in 2008.
