That's So: The Invisible Kingdom by Meghan O'Rourke (an interview with Meghan!)


Listen Later

Happy Tuesday! Welcome back to That’s So, a monthly series here at That’s So Chronic where we get to chat a little bit deeper on a piece of content (book, film, interview, etc!) that’s in our That’s So Chronic world. Today… The Invisible Kingdom by Meghan O’Rourke.

The Invisible Kingdom - Reimagining Chronic Illness, blends New York Times best seller Meghan O’Rourke’s own experiences of searching for answers/a diagnosis, as well as interviews between health professionals, patients, researchers, and public health experts, to unpack “invisible” illnesses. 

In this episode we get to hear from Meghan to learn about what goes into writing a book, what the response has been, and similarities between the New Zealand and American health system (sorry, but WHY are we still using FAX MACHINES?!) This book took me on a ride, and I can’t wait to share my thoughts with you all!  

“The Invisible Kingdom offers hope for the sick, solace and insight for their loved ones, and a radical new understanding of our bodies and our health.”

“Remarkable.” – The New York Times
