Thrive: The Christian Bjerre Show


William Breitbart M.D

November 21, 2020

William (Bill) Breitbart M.D., Chair of Psychiatry at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, tells us his life story. He begins telling us the life of his parents (A Jewish family who endured and eventually escaped the holocaust). He later explains how this background served as a significant trigger to finding purpose in a career dedicated to understanding suffering. Finally, and most importantly, he brings up the question of the responsibility each individual has in creating his/her life, and to find meaning in it.
