520 When a powerful mystic steps on the hand of a radical
young hippie doctor from Detroit, it changes lives and the
world. Sometimes Brilliant is the adventures of a
philosopher, mystic, hippie, doctor, groundbreaking tech
innovator, and key player in the eradication of one of the
worst pandemics in human history. His story, of what
happens when love, compassion and determination meet the
right circumstances to effect positive change, is the kind
that keeps hope and the sense of possibility alive. After
sitting at the feet of Martin Luther King at the
University of Michigan in 1963, Larry Brilliant was swept
up into the civil rights movement, marching and protesting
across America and Europe. As a radical young doctor he
followed the hippie trail from London over the Khyber Pass
with his wife Girija, Wavy Gravy and the Hog Farm commune
to India. There, he found himself in a Himalayan ashram
wondering whether he had stumbled into a cult. Instead,
one of India' greatest spiritual teachers, Neem Karoli
Baba, opened Larry' heart and told him his destiny was to
work for the World Health Organization to help eradicate
killer smallpox. He would never have believed he would
become a key player in eliminating a 10,000-year-old
disease that killed more than half a billion people in the
20th century alone. Brilliant's unlikely trajectory,
chronicled in Sometimes Brilliant, has brought him into
close proximity with political leaders, spiritual masters,
cultural heroes, and titans of technology around the world,
from the Grateful Dead to Mikhail Gorbachev, from Ram Dass,
the Dalai Lama, Lama Govinda, and Karmapa to Steve Jobs
and the founders of Google, Salesforce, Facebook,
Microsoft and eBay and Presidents Carter, Clinton, Bush
and Obama. Anchored by the engrossing account of the
heroic efforts of the extraordinary people involved in
smallpox eradication in India, this is a riveting and
fascinating epidemiological adventure, an honest reckoning
of an entire generation, and a deeply moving spiritual
memoir. It is a testament to faith, love, service, and
what it means to engage with life' most important
questions in pursuit of a better, more brilliant
existence.
