This week I wanted to share some of my favorite books that I think EVERYONE should read. As a dentist who offers house calls, I believe reading general nonfiction is incredibly important for personal growth and empathy.
The first book is Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder. It tells the story of Dr.Paul Farmer, a physician who dedicated his career to treating patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Haiti. His dedication to justice is truly inspiring and reminds us that all lives matter.
The next book is When Breath Becomes Air, a memoir written by a neurosurgeon who reflects on what matters in life as he faces his own mortality. It's a touching read that reminds us of the importance of cherishing time with loved ones.
Finally, James Clear's Atomic Habits is a bestseller that offers advice on how to establish good habits. It's a great read for anyone looking to make positive changes in their life.
I hope these recommendations inspire you to pick up a book and start reading! And if you're interested in reading together in a community, consider becoming an official member of the ResiDENTAL Movement where every month we will be discussing a new book and share how the ideas and philosophies contained in the book apply to our practices and everyday lives. Thank you for your time and happy reading!
