  DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
  This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
  'Daring Greatly' by Dr. Brené Brown delves into the transformative power of vulnerability. Drawing on 12 years of research, Brown challenges the misconception that vulnerability equates to weakness, instead presenting it as a testament to genuine courage. She underscores that while vulnerability is at the heart of emotions such as fear and grief, it's also the cradle of positive experiences like love, joy, and creativity. By avoiding vulnerability, we deprive ourselves of meaningful life experiences. The book emphasizes that true courage is not about winning but about embracing vulnerability despite potential criticism or hurt. It urges readers to actively participate in their lives, facing challenges head-on and fully allowing themselves to be seen.

  Pharmanomics - How Big Pharma...

  In Pharmanomics, investigative journalist Nick Dearden digs down into the way we produce our medicines and finds that Big Pharma is failing us, with catastrophic consequences. 
   
   
   
  Big Pharma is more interested in profit than health. This was made clear as governments rushed to produce vaccines during the Covid pandemic. Behind the much-trumpeted scientific breakthroughs, major companies found new ways of gouging billions from governments in the West while abandoning the Global South. But this is only the latest episode in a long history of financializing medicine—from Purdue's rapacious marketing of highly addictive OxyContin through Martin Shkreli's hiking the price of a lifesaving drug to the 4.5 million South Africans needlessly deprived of HIV/AIDS medication. 
   
   
   
  Since the 1990s, Big Pharma has gone out of its way to protect its property through the patent system. As a result, the business has focused not on researching new medicines but on building monopolies. This system has helped restructure our economy away from invention and production in order to benefit financial markets. It has fundamentally reshaped the relationship between richer and poorer countries, as the access to new medicines and the permission to manufacture them is ruthlessly policed. In response, Dearden offers a pathway to a fairer, safer system for all.
