At the moment as I publish this, there are 340,000 cases of the Coronavirus and over 9,700 deaths from it in the U.S. Over 70,000 deaths world wide.  The amount and velocity of information on the pandemic is overwhelming and much of it conflicts. Do this - don't do that. I need help parsing all of it.  Enter Dr. Alex Lickerman, M.D.  Alex is a direct primary care physician at ImagineMD, spending the first 20 years of his career as a leader at the University of Chicago, where he ran primary care for seven years and taught generations of today’s leaders in medicine. There he enjoyed a reputation as “a doctor’s doctor,” caring for many physicians who are themselves today considered leaders in their fields.  I wanted to talk with Alex about the Coronavirus because of his unique qualifications as a physician and his work in resilience. Alex is the author of, The Undefeated Mind: On the Science of Constructing an Indestructible Self that formed the basis of the landmark Resilience Project, which he began while at the University of Chicago. Short show (36 mins) but I get to ask a lot of questions that he kindly answers in detail Comparisons New York vs Chicago What's unique about the Coronavirus Current best treatments   Separating fact from the news  Symptoms and timeframes What should I do if I get sick?

An undefeated mind isn’t one that never feels discouraged or despairing; it’s one that continues on in spite of it - Alex Lickerman Over the last twenty years Dr. Alex Lickerman has watched thousands of patients struggle with sickness and issues from colds to cancers. He has extensive experience treating the sickest of the sick at a renowned academic medical center located in the heart of one of the poorest neighborhoods in Chicago. Caring for and observing his patients he says taught him the most important lesson he’s ever learned: That our capacity to suffer may be immense, but so is our ability to endure it—if we've taken effective steps to develop our strength. Alex Lickerman is a former assistant professor of medicine, director of primary care, and assistant vice president for Student Health and Counseling Services at the University of Chicago. He currently leads a direct primary care private practice called ImagineMD in Chicago. Alex’s first book, The Undefeated Mind: On the Science of Constructing an Indestructible Self.

He’s also been a guest on NPR’s On Point. I loved talking with Alex. He reminded me of Sam Harris. Smart and articulate. His message is a simple one and a reality check for all of us.   Stop hoping for easy lives and instead to focus on cultivating the inner strength we need to enjoy the difficult lives we all have. We talk about this is in detail on the podcast. How does he cultivate inner strength? How do we cultivate it? Alex thinks your purpose is not an endowed one but rather an evolved function.
