Praise
“Random Acts of Medicine is my favorite kind of book: smart, entertaining, and full of surprises. The field of medicine has been slow to appreciate the immense power of natural experiments. Jena and Worsham are on a crusade to change that. Read this book, and you’ll be a believer.”
—Steven D. Levitt, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of Freakonomics
“What a brilliant book! Random Acts of Medicine is science, but it is much more than that. It offers a set of profound lessons about learning, life, and health.”
—Cass R. Sunstein, New York Times bestselling co-author of Nudge and Noise
“It is a rare book that manages to be both fantastically entertaining and deeply thought-provoking. This is such a book.”
—Emily Oster, New York Times bestselling author of The Family Firm, Cribsheet, and Expecting Better
“Random Acts of Medicine accomplishes the rare feat of delivering important science in page-turning fashion. There’s something fascinating on every page. You’ll never think about healthcare quite the same way again.”
—David Epstein, New York Times bestselling author of Range and The Sports Gene
“This is a wonderful book for anyone with a curious mind. Random Acts of Medicine will dazzle you as it reveals ingenious ways that data sleuths have answered questions that can improve your health and health care. Stimulating, creative, and smart, this book is a treasure.“
—Katy Milkman, bestselling author of How to Change
“A charming and informative look at the role of randomness in patients’ and doctors’ lives—and how natural experiments can turn this randomness into fascinating insights.”
—Joshua Angrist, winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in economics
