"The book everyone interested in health should read" - Fortune
Fifty essays on the state of population health from a vanguard voice in the field Public health can rightly claim its share of victories: healthier cities, widespread sanitation, broader availability of nutrient-rich food, and reductions in violence and injury. But for all these gains, today we face a new set of challenges, ones complicated by political and professional shifts that threaten to fundamentally change the health of populations. Healthier is both an affirmation and an essential summary of the current challenges and opportunities for those working in and around the improvement of population health. The essays contained here champion an approach to health that is consequentialist and rooted in social justice -- an expansion of traditional, quantitatively motivated public health that will both inform and inspire any reader from student to seasoned practitioner. Galea's cogent, incisive arguments guarantee that his perspective, currently at the forefront of public health, will soon become conventional wisdom.
"Galea's concise yet engaging prose makes for a compelling read ... he does an excellent job of providing [readers] with a vast array of issues to explore while being honest about the challenges ahead for the field." - Amanda Matheson, MD, Population Health Management
"Sandro Galea is a is a psychiatrist, the dean of the School of Public Health at Boston University, and a wonderful storyteller. He is out to change the narrative, the way we think, feel, and act about the health of populations of people." - American Journal of Psychiatry
"A series of essays that inform and inspire our thinking about the role of public health. This book is more than an academic resource; it is a conversation starter and a bridge to our peers in other sectors. Galea's book left me optimistic and inspired." - Karen DeSalvo, American Journal of Public Health
