Our Book: RANDOM ACTS OF MEDICINE

Available now wherever books are sold!

In our book, Random Acts of Medicine, we explore research by us by others that uses natural experiments—chance events where people are randomly sent down different paths without the intervention of a researcher’s manipulating hand—to answer pressing questions about our health. Here’s what some of our favorite authors had to say about the book:

“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

“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 and author of ParentData

“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
