In all my years of conducting interviews with authors, I have probably never come across one like Dr. Larry Brilliant. He is literally brilliant, authentic and someone who played a major role in eradicating a disease that was killing thousands of people.
In his new book “Sometime Brilliant-The Impossible Adventure of a Spiritual Seeker and Visionary Physician Who Helped Conquer the Worst Disease in History” he tell his story with flair and humor.
In my interview with Larry we get to explore his history as a visionary physician and spiritual seeker. Larry ended up in India under the guidance of guru named Neem Karoli Baba. Neem Karoli Baba informed Larry that he would be involved in the work to help eradicate smallpox. At the time over 43,000 people were affected by this horrible disease, and through Larry’s diligence, persistence and fortitude to bring the doctors and World Health Organization together they accomplished the goal and vision that his guru has envisioned.
Through “Sometimes Brilliant” you are on a journey with Larry and the cast of characters, which include Steve Jobs, Ram Dass, Dalai Lama and many others. You learn about a man and a life well lived, and a contribution to the world that saved and has saved thousands of lives from the smallpox disease.
I hope you enjoy this great interview with a wonderful humanitarian and physician. If you want to learn more about Dr. Larry Brilliant please click here to be directed to his website, or click here to be taken to his Facebook page.
