Download Sometimes Brilliant: The Impossible Adventure of a Spiritual Seeker and Visionary Physician Who Helped Conquer the Worst Disease in History AudioBook Free
When a powerful mystic steps on the hand of an radical young hippie doctor from Detroit, it changes lives and the globe. Sometimes Brilliant is the adventures of an philosopher, mystic, hippie, doctor, groundbreaking technical innovator, and key player in the eradication of one of the most severe pandemics in human history. His storyline, of what goes on when love, compassion and dedication meet up with the right circumstances to impact positive change, is the kind that keeps desire and the sense of opportunity alive. After relaxing at the feet of Martin Luther King at the College or university of Michigan in 1963, Larry Brilliant was embroiled into the civil rights movement, marching and protesting across America and European countries. Being a radical young doctor he implemented the hippie trail from London within the Khyber Pass with his partner Girija, Wavy Gravy and the Hog Farm commune to India. There, he found himself in a Himalayan ashram wondering whether he previously stumbled into a cult. Instead, one of India's biggest spiritual instructors, Neem Karoli Baba, opened Larry's heart and soul and told him his future was to help the planet Health Business to help eliminate killer smallpox. He'd never have presumed he would become a key player in removing a 10,000-year-old disease that killed over fifty percent a billion people in the 20th century alone. Brilliant's improbable trajectory, chronicled in Sometimes Brilliant, has brought him into close proximity with political leaders, spiritual masters, ethnical heroes, and titans of technology around the world-from the Grateful Deceased to Mikhail Gorbachev, from Ram Dass, the Dalai Lama, Lama Govinda, and Karmapa to Steve Careers and the founders of Yahoo, Salesforce, Facebook, Microsoft and eBay and Presidents Carter, Clinton, Bush and Obama. Anchored by the engrossing bill of the heroic work of the astonishing people involved in smallpox eradication in India, this is a riveting and interesting epidemiological adventure, an honest reckoning of a whole generation, and a deeply moving religious memoir. It is a testament to beliefs, love, service, and what it means to activate with life's most important questions in search of an improved, more brilliant living.
