A very exciting book day in my household – on the same day I received my copy of Zeke Emanuel's new book (which I'm psyched to read), a pre-pub copy of my new book showed up as well. Mine will be publicly available on Feb 3, but available for pre-order now.

Thanks to David Pogue and CBS Sunday Morning for interviewing me for their "Good News You May Have Missed in 2025" story, discussing AI and healthcare and featuring my upcoming book, "A Giant Leap." (Segment begins at 5:10.)

Good news you may have missed in 2025
The bad news from the past year (and there was a lot of it) drowned out much of the GOOD news that made smaller headlines. David Pogue reports on some of 2025's best underreported stories.
