Known for his compassionate approach to neurology and psychiatry, Dr. Sacks saw the value of environments that prioritized healing through meaningful work, community, and connection to the land. The recent release of "Oliver Sacks: Letters" offers a window into his thoughts on life, medicine, and human relationships. In one particularly moving letter from 2006, Sacks writes to a college student with bipolar disorder, reflecting on the significance of personhood beyond a diagnosis. He mentions Gould Farm, underscoring how a place like this can provide space for growth and healing. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gfXc8xhX Oliver Sacks Foundation
