My Quest for Health Equity -...

MD David Satcher

Dr. David Satcher is one of the most widely known and well-regarded physicians of our time. A former four-star admiral in the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, he served as the assistant secretary for health, the surgeon general of the United States, and the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention before founding the eponymous Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine. At the core of his impact on public health, he is also a lifelong leader for civil rights and health equity. 
 
 
 
In My Quest for Health Equity, Dr. Satcher takes an inspiring and instructive look inside his fifty-year career to shed light on the challenge and burden of leadership. Explaining that he has thought of each leadership role—whether in academia, community, or government—as an opportunity to move the needle toward health equity, he shares the hard-won lessons he has learned over a lifetime in the medical field. 
 
 
 
Drawing on his early memories, medical school days, and experience in the civil rights movement, Dr. Satcher touches on a number of topics, including the essential qualities of leadership; leading from science to policy to practice; the importance of clear communication and continual learning; the need for workplace discipline; confronting failure; team approaches to leadership; and much more.

Highly Sensitive People - The...

Vayana Ariz

This is a 2-book combo, which has the following titles:
Book 1: The contents of this book will guide you along to a variety of topics related to high sensitivity. They range from the simple basics of what makes someone a highly sensitive person to the connection between high sensitivity and autism, the attraction of narcissists, tips to stop worrying, and how to face rejection without getting hurt. And the last chapter talks about how hypersensitivity can be a hereditary factor people are born with.
Each of these issues is laid out well and explained in detail. You will find that your understanding of highly sensitive people, whether that pertains to yourself or someone you know, will deepen.
There is no question about it. Getting this book will help you comprehend high sensitivity better.
Book 2: Are you or is anyone you know a highly sensitive person?
In order to answer that question, we have to study the subject, and what distinguishes such a person from others who have “regular” levels of sensitivity. The journey begins in a person’s childhood. Highly sensitive children react differently to the heightened impulses that enter their brains. These stimuli shape their character, their behavior, and their talents.
Being in love with or related to someone with high sensitivity has its benefits and challenges as well. They typically don’t like being rushed. They don’t like too much drama or too much stimulation of the senses. It’s good to know what to say to them and what not to say to people with sensitive personalities.
Last but not least, being highly sensitive can have a lot of benefits, ranging from creativity to emotional connection.
