Longtime readers know I’ve spent the last two years writing a book about peer-to-peer health care and the incredible work being done by patients, survivors, and caregivers. (Even longer-term colleagues and friends know I’ve had this project on simmer since I left Pew Research, but I got happily sidetracked a couple of times.)
I am thrilled to share the title:
Rebel Health: A Field Guide to the Patient-Led Revolution in Medical Care
It will be published in February 2024 by MIT Press and is available for pre-order.
Much, MUCH more to say about this heart-song of mine, but that’s enough for now.
Here’s a page where you can sign up for a sneak preview book club. I’ll continue to post updates there, including the cover design when it’s available.

Thanks, Danny!!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Congratulations, Susannah! I am eager to read. Iconic title
Thank you! Equally eager to hear what you think! xoxo
Fantastic! What a great title. And your point is clear – how can people help themselves? By connecting. Pre-ordered!
Yes! Get people what they need to solve their own problems. Sometimes that’s data. Sometimes that’s materials. And very often, it’s getting access to each other.
And thank you. Pre-orders make all the difference — grateful for the early investment
You are my Idol…;-)
Preorder in!
Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner!! Billy Idol reference #1 from my dear pal Bill. Knew I could count on you.
I can hardly wait to include Rebel Health within the “WellBeing Collaborative” Origins mHealth is gestating. Perhaps Origins birth will be coincidental with Rebel Health’s publication date….Richard Guy Sass, founder/Chair/CEO – Origins FTD. I’ll place my pre-order now with Powell’s in Portland Oregon……
Thank you!
Congratulations! A long time in the works, but you’ve learned so much more since you left Pew that will have added to the book’s richness. Can’t wait.
Yes! And you’ve been a big part of the journey. Thank you, Raj!
Preordered. Can’t wait !! This is the story of the future….
Thank you for the pre-order! And yes, I agree: this is the story of the future. I’m lucky to have had mentors who encouraged me early on to follow the hackers, pioneers, and rebels to the frontier of what’s possible in tech & health. This book is based on that fieldwork plus a deep dive into the academic literature proving the value of peer-to-peer connections among patients, survivors, and caregivers.
Congrats, SF! I’ll put this above the fold in the newsletter.
Thank you! Love this early boost of confidence I’m getting from my home team of blog readers. Much appreciated.
Ordered and couldn’t be more excited!
Yay! Can’t wait to sign your copy and celebrate in LA.
