NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “[A] masterpiece . . . an astonishing book that will leave you questioning your own life and political views.”—USA Today

“If any one person can be given credit for transforming the medical establishment’s thinking about health care for the destitute, it is Paul Farmer. . . . [Mountains Beyond Mountains] inspires, discomforts, and provokes.”—The New York Times (Best Books of the Year)

In medical school, Paul Farmer found his life’s calling: to cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. Tracy Kidder’s magnificent account shows how one person can make a difference in solving global health problems through a clear-eyed understanding of the interaction of politics, wealth, social systems, and disease. Profound and powerful, Mountains Beyond Mountains takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes people’s minds through his dedication to the philosophy that “the only real nation is humanity.”

I now have a new hero. The story is well lived and well told. I am inspired to spend more time in communties with the people I want to serve. I was reminded of the best things in life and the greatest (most worthwhile) struggles. The book is truely touching. Farmer is a reasonable man to be considered an ideal.

An inspiring story of an inspiring man.

Good narration. Story gets a little drawn out regarding the writer's praise of Dr. Farmer. Overall, the book flowed well, and was very illuminating about public health in Haiti and other areas afflicted by TB outbreaks during that time frame. A story everyone should know about.

A necessary history lesson, also lovely biography

this book transported me to the furthest end of the ethical spectrum from Dear Leader. I return refreshed, and remotivated anew. this was recommended by Dr. Osterholm on his podcast. it is a doorway to sanity from our current scary scenario. Dr. Farmer was an excellent human.
