Finding a better way: Tales from a corporate existentialist (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781981770434)

In over twenty years of developing medical technologies, Dr. Alan Stein has worked with entities ranging from 3M and HP to The Helmsley Charitable Trust. He has mentored entrepreneurs at the Wharton School of Business, is published in academic and industry journals, and has delivered a provocative message about technology all over the world through diverse forums including Grand Rounds in Seoul, TEDx in Dallas, SNOMED Expo in Bratislava, and HINZ in Auckland. Dr. Stein is formally trained in Medicine, Biophysics, and Engineering. His extensive travel to examine health systems around the world gives him an unusual perspective on the increasing dichotomy between healthcare delivery and societal well-being. He believes that we must cherish our collective humanity above all else in order to ensure our continued existence in a world of ever more powerful technologies. Dr. Stein enjoys walking, music, yoga, cooking, reading, writing, and conversation among other simple pleasures. Through personal experience he has learned the mantra "Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional" which drives his daily practice of mindfulness. His existential observations offer an enlightening and often humorous view of the world in which we live.
