Summary
Outgoing US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy's final message is a call to strengthen community and social connections to improve America's mental and physical health. He warns that loneliness, isolation, and divisiveness are driving poor health outcomes and social dysfunction, exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic and social media's harmful influence. Murthy advocates for focusing on relationships, service, and purpose as a healthier path to fulfillment, contrasting it with the pursuit of wealth, fame, and power. He believes that a strong sense of purpose in helping others can reduce the risk of illness and improve resilience. His final advice: “Choose community.”
Key Quote:
"The triad of success may earn us praise and possessions. The triad of fulfillment gives us meaning and belonging."
