Mental Health Book Club "Just One Heart" Sharp Index

Sharp Index is thrilled to welcome author and wellbeing leader Jonathan Fisher, MD FACC.

From Jonathan Fisher, MD, the author of “Just One Heart”

‘I took care of 20,000 other hearts before taking care of my own.

I spent decades trying to hide my anxiety, depression, and burnout: burnishing the image of a “perfect” student and a “perfect” doctor. That daily effort – hiding my struggles and pretending to be someone I am not – took its toll. So I began a personal quest to discover the roots of healing, health, and happiness. Along the way I noticed that my patients, colleagues, and countless others were eager to learn the timeless practices that helped me heal and thrive.’ Meet us virtually for this wellbeing community event.

Mental Health Sharp Index Book Club

We are thrilled to be joined by Susannah Fox, former CTO of HHS, to discuss her crucial book “Rebel Health”.

Learn about the four types of patients, and what they mean for the future of healthcare. Anyone who has fallen off the conveyor belt of mainstream health care and into the shadowy corners of illness knows what a dark place it is to land. What is the relationship between patients and physician mental health? In Rebel Health, Susannah Fox draws on twenty years of tracking the expert networks of patients, survivors, and caregivers who have come of age between the cracks of the health care system to offer a way forward. Physicians want to give great patient care- does the health system allow for that?
