'About That Life' by Rembert Brown [link]

A blog post about getting out there and representing our generation. 

This Is Water by David Foster Wallace - commencement speech

The only commencement speech DFW ever gave - it was at Kenyon College in 2005. The one sentence summary - it's hard to live a life for people, but it's the only way. This Is Water shapes my life everyday.

Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder - biography

A biography of global health advocate Paul Farmer - he represents everything right about the world - standing up for the poor in Haiti.  

Scrubs - the TV show

The #1 reason I wanted to go to med school.

Grantland - the website 

A sports/pop culture blog created by my hero, Bill Simmons, who also wrote an amazing book on basketball and greatness - The Book of Basketball.
