Reviews
"This book should become a call to action for a new social movement." -- Michael Pollan, author of How to Change Your Mind "There is no one better equipped to address this dialectic between medicine and humanism, and there is no more urgent task in modern medicine than bridging this yawning gap." -- Andrew Solomon, author of Noonday Demon and Far from the Tree "Insel, the nation's expert on the science of mental illness, shows us how we shall overcome the chaos of the mental health crisis with commitment and compassion." -- Patrick Kennedy, former Representative US Congress; Founder, Kennedy Forum "The time has come for a social movement to address the needs of people with mental illness across national borders. I believe that Tom Insel's book can be the catalyst for this movement."-- Shekhar Saxena, MD, Former Director of Mental Health, WHO, Geneva "The mental health crisis in America has been neglected for too long, with care made inaccessible or ineffective for too many of us. In this essential book, one of our most visionary leaders reveals that the solution demands a holistic approach. By reframing the mental health crisis as an opportunity for social justice, hopefully Tom Insel's ideas will bring about long-needed progress toward a more inclusive, more compassionate, and healthier society. Recovery is for every family dealing with a mental health issue, which today means nearly every family in the United States." -- Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, "I love stories that bridge biology, psychology, and sociology to understand a big problem. Insel, a neuroscientist and psychiatrist, here has written such a story about how we care for or, more accurately, how we have failed to care for people with mental illness, and the impact that has on so many other huge problems our society is facing today. This is really a book about social justice. Insel is the ideal person to take this on--he is a revered and respected neuroscientist, internationally known as a researcher and tech entrepreneur. So his voice is especially compelling and this book should become a call to action for a new social movement." -- Michael Pollan, author of This is Your Mind on Plants "Healing is truly one of the best books ever written about mental illness, and I think I've read them all. Dr. Insel speaks as a parent, scientist, doctor, and our government's former 'nation's psychiatrist,' defining what's wrong and offering clear-headed solutions--all while guiding us forward with compassion, goodness, and hope in this juggernaut wake-up call." -- Pete Earley, author of Crazy " Healing is a masterpiece. Tom Insel has combined his powerful intellect, knowledge of science and history, and decades of experience with real life examples, and combines analysis of the nature of the problem, the history of how we and others have dealt with it, the programs that work and what we can do to fix a broken system, in a clear, concise and powerful way. If you care about mental illness--whether you suffer yourself from a brain disease, have experienced a family member or dear friend with serious mental illness, are a policy maker with responsibility for reforming the broken system, or simply want to be educated--this book is a must read." -- Norman Ornstein, New York Times bestselling author of One Nation After Trump "There is no one better equipped to address this dialectic between medicine and humanism, and there is no more urgent task in modern medicine than bridging this yawning gap." -- Andrew Solomon, author of Noonday Demon and Far from the Tree "The mental health crisis in America has been neglected for too long, with care made inaccessible or ineffective for too many of us.

I believe that Tom Insel's book can be the catalyst for this movement." -- Shekhar Saxena, MD, Former Director of Mental Health, WHO, Geneva "The mental health crisis has become the civil rights issue of our time. Someday we will look back at our incarceration and exclusion of people with brain disorders and wonder how we could have been so callous. With this book, that day may come sooner than any of us imagine. Insel, the nation's expert on the science of mental illness, shows us how we shall overcome the chaos of the mental health crisis with commitment and compassion." --Patrick Kennedy, former Representative US Congress; Founder, Kennedy Forum, "I love stories that bridge biology, psychology, and sociology to understand a big problem.

Synopsis
A bold, expert, and actionable map for the re-invention of America's broken mental health care system. "Healing is truly one of the best books ever written about mental illness, and I think I've read them all." --Pete Earley, author of Crazy As director of the National Institute of Mental Health, Dr. Thomas Insel was giving a presentation when the father of a boy with schizophrenia yelled from the back of the room, "Our house is on fire and you're telling me about the chemistry of the paint! What are you doing to put out the fire?" Dr. Insel knew in his heart that the answer was not nearly enough . The gargantuan American mental health industry was not healing millions who were desperately in need. He left his position atop the mental health research world to investigate all that was broken--and what a better path to mental health might look like. In the United States, we have treatments that work, but our system fails at every stage to deliver care well. Even before COVID, mental illness was claiming a life every eleven minutes by suicide. Quality of care varies widely, and much of the field lacks accountability. We focus on drug therapies for symptom reduction rather than on plans for long-term recovery. Care is often unaffordable and unavailable, particularly for those who need it most and are homeless or incarcerated. Where was the justice for the millions of Americans suffering from mental illness? Who was helping their families? But Dr. Insel also found that we do have approaches that work, both in the U.S. and globally. Mental illnesses are medical problems, but he discovers that the cures for the crisis are not just medical, but social. This path to healing, built upon what he calls the three Ps (people, place, and purpose), is more straightforward than we might imagine. Dr. Insel offers a comprehensive plan for our failing system and for families trying to discern the way forward. The fruit of a lifetime of expertise and a global quest for answers, Healing is a hopeful, actionable account and achievable vision for us all in this time of mental health crisis.
