The Good Doctor: Breaking the
rules, making a difference,
by Lance O’Sullivan, 2015.
Lance O’Sullivan is a man on a mission.
Raised in Auckland by a solo mother,
he had a modest upbringing typical
of the time. After being expelled from
two schools, Lance could have gone
off the rails. Instead, he found his way
at Hato Petera College, connecting
with his Maori ancestry, and going on
to study medicine. After a brief but
outstanding career working as a GP in
the public health system, Lance and
his wife Tracy quit their day jobs to set
up a ground-breaking practice in the
Far North that offers free healthcare
to the many who can’t afford it.
The Good Doctor charts his
inspirational, one-of-a-kind life
story, while relaying an overarching
hope for a better New Zealand.
Atomic Habits: An easy and
proven way to build good
habits and break bad ones,
by James Clear, 2018.
If you’re having trouble changing
your habits, the problem isn’t you.
The problem is your system. Bad
habits repeat themselves again and
again not because you don’t want to
change, but because you have the
wrong system for change. Atomic
Habits offers a proven framework for
improving - every day. James Clear,
one of the world’s leading experts
on habit formation, reveals practical
strategies that will teach you exactly
how to form good habits, break bad
ones, and master the tiny behaviours
that lead to remarkable results.
