Publisher's Weekly Review

This glowing compilation of quotes and anecdotes drawn from published speeches and interviews with renowned infectious disease specialist Fauci (Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine) offers bite-size morsels of wisdom and autobiographical tales from his decades-long career in public service. Chapter titles summarize the lessons, which include: "Above All, Empathize," "Honor Your Community," "Live to Serve," and "Be a Lifelong Learner." Fauci's reflections from his service under multiple presidents include frustration with Reagan's reticence to speak about AIDS and appreciation for George W. Bush's visionary efforts to address the AIDS crisis in Africa. In some of the most affecting sections, Fauci explores the human cost of the HIV/AIDS pandemic and researchers' efforts to discover what the virus was and how to treat it. Each chapter ends with a "Scene from a Life," including an amusing story of the tuxedo-wearing obstetrician who oversaw Fauci's birth in Brooklyn Hospital on Christmas Eve, 1940, and Fauci's appreciation of democracy gained from his many experiences testifying before Congress. The visually appealing book design includes plentiful white space, boxed quotes, subheadings, and occasional italicized explanatory notes offering context for Fauci's reflections. Those craving more of Fauci's wisdom will love this charming work of self-help. (Nov.)
