"Societal factors and social ecology are shown by powerful public health studies to impact health more than do genes, biology, behavior, and even medical care. We are reluctant to jettison capitalism, but it is exacting a terrible cost. (example: Tarlov & St. Peter)"

The incredible thinker Albert Einstein spoke about values when he said: “Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value.” The great spirit Mohandas Gandhi also spoke of meaning in life with his famous phrase: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” And the wonderful woman Helen Keller noted that “the only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”
