It was Harry S. Truman who said, “Not All Readers Are Leaders, But All Leaders Are Readers”.
We have the pleasure of talking to Physicians each day. Often, we ask them ‘what you are reading that inspires you?’
We work on our peer recommended reading list each year and release a new list twice per year. If you’re new around here, we thought we would add a few disclaimers about the list. This isn’t in any particular order, and I’ll personally add a few books along the way as new suggestions come up. We’ve tried to add a variety of different topics and this year is no exception.
RELATED STORY
When Patients Feel Cared For, They’ll Share (i.e. Refer) More.
We’ve even added a bit more fiction than in years past. Why? Because CMT Physician readers tell us they don’t just read medical journals you know. Occasionally everybody needs a mental pause from medical literature. 🙂
I hope you will find this list helpful. It’s a small way for us here at Concierge Medicine Today to say ‘thanks’ to you for being a part of this great community of Physicians and healthcare professionals.
You’ll soon be taking the kids and grand kids on summer vacation or Spring Break or maybe even the mountains to grab those last minute reads. So if you can find a moment to yourself, what better way to refresh, learn something new, unplug or level-up with a new book or podcast that reflect some or one of your peers in medicine’s interests!

Once again, it goes without saying, we are grateful for YOU and we are grateful FOR DOCTORS.
Most Sincerely, FOR YOU, FOR DOCTORS,
~Michael
