Summary

Brilliant's life journey has made him man who has always been in the right place at the right time, engaging with some of the most prominent thought leaders, spiritual masters, heroes, and icons in the world. But Brilliant was also responsible for some of the most significant medical, spiritual, and social achievements of the past century: from the eradication of smallpox and treatment of blindness to introducing the teachings of the Maharajji to the Woodstock Generation, and launching Google's philanthropic enterprises. Now he reflects on his experiences as a doctor, innovator, philanthropist, and cultural revolutionary
