Wonder Drug: 7 Scientifically Proven Ways That Serving Others Is the Best Medicine for Yourself

Trzeciak, Stephen

A pair of doctors team up to illuminate, via neuroscience and wonderful stories from their clinical practice, why focusing on others-and pitching into the world in general-is a secret superpower.

• Wonder Drug features a counterintuitive topic supported by neuroscience and falls in a popular mini-category, from Leonard Mlodinow to Malcolm Gladwell.
• This is an entry in the ever-growing mindfulness genre from an unexpected source: medical professionals. In that vein, the book also proves that helping out other people is good not just for your mind and soul, but for your physical health.
• Authors successfully self-published Compassionomics, a book in the same category for health-care providers.
