Jerome Puryear MD Author Interview

The Art of Thinking Critically with Clarity for Optimal Health: Your Longevity is Determined by How You Think! is a guide that addresses the challenges faced by patients and healthcare providers daily, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking in healthcare decisions. What inspired you to write this informative book?

I find too many of my patients are not advocates for their own care, and I wanted to provide a framework and structure so they can be better advocates for themselves.

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

The concept of metacognition and how it can be applied to everyday life to improve our health decisions and provide improved healthspan.

What is a common misconception you feel people have about their ability to be actively involved in their treatment plans?

Many people don’t see the importance of being their own advocate in a broken and fractured health care system.

What is one thing that people point out after reading your book that surprises you?

Many readers let me know how the book has empowered readers to approach health challenges with confidence, clarity, and a structured mindset. This lets me know the mission of the book was accomplished!
