On Being, To Be A Healer

Vivek Murthy was interviewed by Krista Tippett for her podcast on 4/13/23. This is his second term as U.S. Surgeon General. But his priorities seem strange for a scientist. He is prioritizing loneliness as a public health crisis. And he prescribes love as the best treatment.

This interview is available as a 57-minute podcast from On Being, or via the internet from On Being’s webpage at:

A transcription is also available at this link.

I’ve listened to this podcast twice; it was worth it. Maybe you would be inspired, as well.
