I wouldn’t have picked up this book on my own - it was selected for a professional book club - but I’m really glad I read it. Geronimus’ work is extraordinarily illuminating and paradigm-shifting, positing “health and aging have more to do with how society treats us than how well we take care of ourselves”. 

I can see how it’s important for any education or healthcare professional to read this, but I honestly think everyone should be aware of this information. We had some great discussions within our workplace and I hope we continue the conversations and take action to impact meaningful holistic change. As the book says - all our fates are linked.
