Publisher Description

"There are heroes among us, and Dr. Calvin Sun is one of them. Read this book." -Lisa Ling, journalist

The Monsoon Diaries is the firsthand account of Dr. Calvin Sun, an emergency room doctor who worked tirelessly on the front lines in multiple hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Drawing upon the lessons he learned from his adventures traveling to more than 190 countries in ten years, as well as from the grief he experienced as a teen when his father died, Dr. Sun shares his journey, from growing up as a young Asian American in New York to his calling first to medical school and then to the open road.

He believes that the fight for a better world creates meaning when all feels meaningless, and he hopes that telling his story will help readers reframe this tragic moment in our lifetimes into possibility, with the goal of building a more empathetic society.

A Really True Store of A Doctors Journey

Loved this book

Deez 🌰🌰s ,

Great Book!

It’s always great to see the authenticity in people. It was a pleasure to get to know more about Dr. Sun outside of what I deduced from social media. We need more American male authors of Asian descent!

His story was refreshing just as much as unique in his approach to life.

I hope there is a second book where he details all of his world travels. It would be amazing to read of his perception of the world!
