Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
5.0
challenging emotional informative reflective medium-paced

I think that when I was reading I didn’t know that this was a five star book, but once I finished it stuck with me so much that I knew it had to be! I never knew about Paul Farmer, or really much about world medicine and infectious disease. This book is such a solid and engaging read on Paul, his work, his life, and now his legacy. His drive to create an environment where no health crisis goes untreated is so amazing and is seriously what is needed in the world. He has done so much but is still so focused on individuals and hasn’t lost sight of what matters. I think everyone should read this probably.
