Healing Politics: A Doctor's Journey Into the Heart of Our Political Epidemic
Friday, April 3 at 11:00 am PT / 2:00 pm ET
Guest: Dr. Abdul El-Sayed
Epidemiologist, Public Health expert, Activist, and Author
A child of immigrants, Dr. El-Sayed grew up feeling a responsibility to help others. He threw himself into the study of medicine and excelled—winning a Rhodes Scholarship, earning two advanced degrees, and landing a tenure-track position at Columbia University. At 30, he became the youngest city health official in America, tasked with rebuilding Detroit's health department after years of austerity policies. In his new book, Healing Politics, Dr. El-Sayed diagnoses an underlying epidemic afflicting our country—an epidemic of insecurity. To heal the rifts from this epidemic, he lays out a new direction for the progressive movement. This is a bold, personal, and compellingly original book from a prominent young Muslim leader.
