“In an age of disconnection, Wendy Johnson offers a vital prescription for both personal and planetary flourishing. By bridging ancient wisdom and modern science, she offers a fresh and deeply human perspective on thriving in today’s world. Kinship Medicine is the kind of book that stays with you long after you’ve turned the final page.”

—DANIEL H. PINK, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Drive and The Power of Regret

“There could not be a more urgent need for Kinship Medicine. The book’s central message—that collective human wellness is inextricably linked to the health of the fellow beings with which we share the planet—is an important contribution to contemporary discourse on topics ranging from climate change to economic inequality. Dr. Johnson argues that we are inherently part of the ecosystems we inhabit, and that we cannot be healthy when those ecosystems are sick and suffering. To the extent that we damage our biome, we also harm ourselves. Wendy makes these arguments cogently, and from the unique perspective of an experienced physician, activist, and public health expert able to limn connections between our individual health and the global forces that shape it.”

—DR. PAUL E. FARMER, cofounder of Partners In Health
