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’s greatest spiritual teachers, Neem Karoli Baba, opened Larry’s 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’s most important questions in pursuit of a better, more brilliant existence.

Well worth reading
By Alex Strasheim
Smallpox goes back thousands of years. 300-500 million people died of it in the 20th century alone. Among other things, this is the story of how the scourge ended, the only time humans have ever eradicated a disease with vaccines. But it's also a story about a good guy who met a saint and then got pushed by that saint into playing a role in the fight against the disease.
I once asked a friend who was a rabbi if he believed in miracles. He said that if you're closed off, no one can ever convince you that they exist, but that if you have an open mind, you see them everywhere. I suspect that's how this book will work. I don't know if it's reasonable to read the book as a miracle story. But if it is such a story, it's a pretty big miracle.
Brilliant talks about doing the work without making it about him, and about the need not to get a big head. The book is human scaled, it's the story about a single guy and the work he did, alongside many other people. So you have to step back and remind yourself of the scope of what has happened, of those 300 million people who died, the constant stream of people who were being infected, who would have died, the people who would be sick or dead today, but aren't.
It's a very important story.

Sometimes Brilliant: The impossible adventure of a spiritual seeker and ...
By Pete Johnson
Sometimes Brilliant: The impossible adventure of a spiritual seeker and visionary physician who helped conquer the worst disease in history.
Unfortunately I read about a book every two years. This week however, was different when I picked up the book from my husbands dear golf buddy Larry Brilliant. The book signing was last night, and I made a concerted effort to get what little reading I could and the two days that preceded! So far, it is quite possibly one of the best books I've ever read. For anyone who believes in your life's purpose, was alive during Woodstock, has an affinity for the 60s in San Francisco, has a vested interest in world health issues, making the world a better place, or just needs a bit of inspiration in our current election cycle - this book is amazing.
And I would hope it is destined to be a best seller.
I'm only on page 80, but the tales start as a young Jewish boy in Detroit, then from to their Turk Street apartment in San Francisco, and then on the road with 20 hippie buses along the silk road bringing medical supplies, food and love to people in need… With wavy gravy as their ultimate hippie cheerleader. I know that it was this period of time that they meet up with Steve Jobs, and I would imagine he will be there somewhere in the book. Larry has had a colorful life; he helped eradicate smallpox, was the grateful deads doctor, founded the Seva foundation, headed Google philanthropy for several years and much, much more.
At the book signing, the front two rows were of white-haired men and women, with what I'm sure were many, many stories to tell, wavy gravy included. We overheard him talking to an eight-year-old girl about caring a rubber fish on a stick… it was perfect. I feel so grateful, that he wrote this inspiring book, while he is still thriving and making a difference.
