PBS NewsHour-New York Times Book Club Chooses HEART

The PBS NewsHour-New York Times book club, “Now Read This,” has chosen Sandeep Jauhar’s HEART: A HISTORY as its January pick!

For centuries, the human heart seemed beyond our understanding: an inscrutable shuddering mass that was somehow the driver of emotion and the seat of the soul. As the cardiologist and bestselling author Sandeep Jauhar shows in HEART: A HISTORY, it was only recently that we demolished age-old taboos and devised the transformative procedures that have changed the way we live.

Follow the “Now Read This” Facebook page for discussion questions and other bonus material throughout the month, and at the end of the month, Jauhar will be answering your questions on the PBS NewsHour.
