Doctors Brigham and Johns make a sharp right turn from simply treating disease toward preventive healthcare and more personalized health. In a smooth read, they add a predictive pathway for living both longer and healthier.

Our health care system is crippled by desperate efforts to prevent the inevitable. A third of the national Medicare budget—nearly 175 billion—is spent on the final year of life, and a third of that amount on the final month, often on expensive (and futile) treatments. Such efforts betray a fundamental flaw in how we think about healthcare: we squander resources on hopeless situations, instead of using them to actually improve health.
