In The Formula for Better Health, Tom Frieden—named “the most influential leader in American public health since C. Everett Koop” by former Mayor Michael Bloomberg—reveals how to defeat the world’s deadliest diseases.

Drawing from decades leading New York City’s health department after 9/11, directing the CDC during the Ebola epidemic, and fighting tuberculosis and other lethal threats in India and around the world, Frieden combines compelling stories with insider knowledge to show how to win the battle for health.

In this book, you will step into laboratories that solve mysteries and expose deadly deceptions. You’ll learn how disease detectives ended America’s largest outbreak of drug-resistant tuberculosis, what caused the deadliest mistake during the Covid pandemic, and why we ignore fatal warnings. Most importantly, you’ll find out how to stop today’s leading killers.

The Formula for Better Health bridges the lethal gap between scientific knowledge and life-saving action. Whether you want to protect your own health, safeguard your community, or solve seemingly impossible health challenges—or all three—this book offers hope and a path to a healthier future.
