\u201cAs a doctor who helped lead Detroit\u2019s health department Abdul knows full well the problems with America’s healthcare system and is working to solve them by advocating for a Medicare for All system. Abdul is one of the brightest young stars in the future of the progressive movement.\u201d<\/strong> — Sen. Bernie Sanders<\/p>\n

\u201cAbdul is one of our most gifted communicators and fiercest advocates for the ideal of health care as a fundamental human right. In Healing Politics, he draws on his invaluable blend of experience as a doctor, public health commissioner, and political leader to bring a sorely needed sense of empathy and humanity to the debate over how to mend our fractured society.\u201d<\/strong> — Jon Favreau, Pod Save America<\/p>\n

\u201cThis book is a majestic act of hope grounded in a life of great empathy and courage! From first-rate medical doctor to loving husband, father and politician, Abdul El-Sayed takes us in a breathtaking journey that uplifts our spirits in these grim days!\u201d <\/strong>— Professor Cornel West, Harvard University<\/p>\n

“This is a very important book. Abdul El-Sayed diagnoses the true epidemic of our moment: the scourge of insecurity, as we face a heartless economy and a faltering climate system. And he provides the prescription: a dose of empathy measured out in legislation and political action. It’s a manual for real, deep, and utterly necessary change.”<\/strong> — Bill McKibben, 350.org<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Healing Politics, Abdul El-Sayed doesn’t just diagnose the causes of our broken politics; he gives us a prescription and treatment plan. Abdul’s passion, empathy, and, most important, personal insight\u2014drawn from his experience as an epidemiologist, advocate, and movement leader\u2014will educate and inspire every reader.\u201d <\/strong>— Representative Pramila Jayapal<\/p>\n

\u201cAbdul El-Sayed is an inspired leader with a failsafe moral compass. Achingly felt and carefully reasoned, this book explains the forces that are shattering our communities\u2014and the politics of empathy that can repair our relationships and transform society.\u201d<\/strong>
