I truly love reading both fiction (and non-fiction outside of medicine- so Up to Date doesn’t count for me in this category!). Often literature is cited as a way to develop empathy for others, and I certainly agree. In addition, reading a well-written book allows me to connect more deeply with myself and grow as a human. I have always believed that this internal journey along with growing my capacity for empathy have helped me in being a better physician.
