In Well, physician Sandro Galea examines what Americans miss when they fixate on healthcare: health.

Americans spend more money on health than people anywhere else in the world. And what do they get for it? Statistically, not much. Americans today live shorter, less healthy lives than citizens of other rich countries, and these trends show no signs of letting up.

The problem, Sandro Galea argues, is that Americans focus on the wrong things when they think about health. Our national understanding of what constitutes "being well" is centered on medicine - the lifestyles we adopt to stay healthy, and the insurance plans and prescriptions we fall back on when we're not. While all these things are important, they've not proven to be the difference between healthy and unhealthy on the large scale.

Well is a radical examination of the subtle and not-so-subtle factors that determine who gets to be healthy in America. Galea shows how the country's failing health is a product of American history and character - and how refocusing on our national health can usher enlightenment across American life and politics.

I find my views of universal Healthcare and other social policies to be more open minded and accepting which they normal would not have been. This book starts a conversation about what we should be striving for in terms of health in the United States. preventative medicine is as important as treating the sick and we should act like that is the case (because it is) as a nation.

I had to read this book for a class and I am not disappointed. only about 6.5 hours on times 1.2 speed.

a good read for conservatives especially

I would not recommend this book unless you want to read more about the unfair and substandard living conditions of people in America. It does nothing to inspire Americans to work harder, to make better decisions, to value faith and family, to take responsibility for their lives, or to be players instead of victims.

Uninspiring. Portrays a bleak view on life in America

While parts of the book were interesting, this was mostly a socio-political commentary thinly veiled as a book about health and wellness.

Fell short
