Dean Minor’s Winter Reading List
Lloyd B. Minor, MD, Dean of Stanford School of Medicine, recently shared his 2025 winter reading list on social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, & Instagram). Describing his recommendations, Dean Minor stated:
As the year winds down, I’ve been drawn to stories that celebrate our shared humanity and the experiences that connect us all.
This year’s winter booklist explores the emotional and physical realities of being human – from new research that sheds light on the remarkable ways our bodies and minds work to the sometimes formidable journeys we navigate through caregiving, friendship, and adventure.
I’m delighted to share my winter 2025 booklist with you.
