All Physicians Lead: Redefining Physician Leadership for Better Patient Outcomes

Physicians lead. It’s an integral part of what they do. They lead patients, they lead healthcare teams, they lead colleagues, departments, and organizations. But most doctors receive very little training in leadership. Leon E. Moores, MD, DSc, FACS is a neurosurgeon and seasoned healthcare leader who literally “wrote the book” on physician leadership for the U.S. Army. A West Point graduate, Moores became an officer and a surgeon in the Army and recognized how the lack of formal leadership training for doctors impacts physician effectiveness, team performance, and patient outcomes. Along with a team of highly accomplished colleagues, he created the physician leadership development program that has been widely referenced by the U.S. military. Moores now shares that leadership wisdom, and the lessons he has learned through decades of healthcare organization leadership, with physicians everywhere and with all readers passionate about improving healthcare.

Finding The New You: Think, See and Feel Beautiful

A New You On The Outside Starts On The Inside. How do you define beauty? Do you consider yourself beautiful? Do others consider you beautiful? The most important aspect of beauty lies within—who you are on the inside. Yet, changing how you look on the outside can also make a big difference in your life: it can positively impact your confidence, change how people see you, and ultimately allow you to carry yourself vibrantly. Dennis Schimpf, MD, FACS, wrote Finding the New You: Think, See, and Feel Beautiful to help people understand everything they need to know about plastic surgery, including: • the different plastic surgery procedures available to patients, • how to spot myths and misconceptions about plastic surgery, • how culture influences plastic surgery decisions, and • the importance behind plastic surgery and its role in medicine. Plastic surgery is an art and a process, and the more people understand about the discipline, the more equipped they will be to handle expectations and limitations. In this update to his first book, Finding Beauty, Dennis Schimpf continues to battle the stigmas and misunderstandings behind plastic surgery to help you realize that, no matter the extent of the procedure, beauty starts with who you are on the inside.

Life as Jamie Knows It: An Exceptional Child Grows Up

Disability scholar and father Michael Berube chronicles his son Jamie's journey to adulthood with Down syndrome, exploring his growing curiosity and engagement with the world, his social and academic experiences in school, his evolving relationships with his family, and the complexities of entering the workplace with a disability. With a combination of stirring memoir and sharp intellectual inquiry, Berube tangles with bioethicists, philosophers, and anyone else who doubts the value of a life lived with disability. Life as Jamie Knows It challenges us to rethink how we approach disability as we move toward a more just, more inclusive society.

Life as Jamie Knows It: An Exceptional Child Grows Up

The story of Jamie Bérubé's journey to adulthood and a meditation on disability in American life. Published in 1996, Life as We Know It introduced Jamie Bérubé to the world as a sweet, bright, gregarious little boy who loves The Beatles, pizza, and making lists. At four he is like many young people his age, but his Down syndrome leads most people to see him only in terms of his disability. Twenty years later Jamie is no longer little, though he still loves The Beatles, pizza, and making lists. In Life as Jamie Knows It, Michael Bérubé chronicles his son's growth and his growing love of the world, writing as both a disability studies scholar and as a father. He follows Jamie through the transitions within his family and home life, through his school years, through the complicated process of entering the workforce with a disability. In a book that joins stirring memoir and sharp philosophical inquiry, Bérubé guides us through the labyrinth of ethical issues surrounding how we approach disability and uses Jamie's story to argue for a deeper understanding of disability that challenges us to move toward a more just, more inclusive society.
