How a Leading New York City Health System Mobilized to Battle the Greatest Health Crisis of Our Era

Relentless is the compelling story of how one of America's leading health care systems -- the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City -- mobilized to confront the defining health crisis of our time: the coronavirus pandemic.



This book is based on unprecedented access to internal hospital documents and more than 100 candid interviews with the chief executives of Mount Sinai's hospitals and its Icahn School of Medicine; with physicians and nurses on the front lines throughout the system who pushed themselves to the brink to save lives; with renowned research scientists who urgently worked to decipher the virus and find ways to counter it as quickly and safely as possible; and with brave patients, staff members, and medical students who summoned up their reserves of energy, compassion, dedication, and courage to fight the disease. Relentless closes with an exploration and explanation of lessons learned -- and of what needs to be done, and what is being done, to prepare for future pandemics and other health crises.



Author Deborah Schupack, an acclaimed novelist and journalist, tells this story with the velocity and intensity of a gripping thriller and with the care and detail of great reporting. Her masterful writing is accompanied by unforgettable photographs, many here seen for the first time.



If you read one book about the heroism and fears, the triumphs large and small, the strength and improvisation and daring that the fight against COVID has entailed and required, make it Relentless.

Personal Reflections

"I can say in all sincerity that I am at peace. I consider this as God's special gift to me."
--Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, Archbishop of Chicago, announcing on August 30, 1996, that his cancer had returned after fifteen months of being in remission. The Cardinal died November 14, 1996.

In the final two months of his life, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin made it his mission to share his personal reflections and insights in this book, The Gift of Peace. Using as a framework the previous three years, which included false accusation of sexual misconduct, diagnosis of cancer, and return of the cancer after fifteen months of being in remission, Cardinal Bernardin tells his story openly and honestly. At the end of his life, the Cardinal was at peace. He accepted his peace as a gift from God, and through this book, he shares that gift with the world. The Gift of Peace is part of the Cardinal's pastoral legacy; through this book his ministry lives on.

From The Gift of Peace:
"The past three years have taught me a great deal about myself and my relationship to God, the Church, and others. . . . Within these major events lies the story of my life-- what I have believed and who I have worked hard to be. And because of the nature of these events, I have spirituality and gained insights that I want to share. By no means are these reflections meant to be a comprehensive autobiography. They are simply reflections from my heart to yours. I hope they will be of help to you in your own life so you too can enjoy the deep inner peace--God's wonderful gift to me--that I now embrace as I stand on the threshold of eternal life."
I invite those who read this book to walk with me the final miles of my life's journey.
Peace and love,
Joseph Cardinal Bernardin

Ali Vincent

How Being the Biggest Loser Won Me Back My Life

When Ali Vincent was selected to be a contestant on the hit NBC show The Biggest Loser, her weight was at an alltime high of 234 pounds-and her life had reached an all-time low. Like millions of Americans, Ali struggled for years with poor eating habits, family problems, stress, and low-self-esteem. After years of being afraid, ashamed, and unhappy, she resolved to change her life, once and for all- to lose weight, get healthy, and pursue her dreams. Before she was even offered a spot on The Biggest Loser campus, Ali made up her mind that she was going to not only drop the weight- but win the competition. In her bedroom at The Biggest Loser ranch, Ali rang a little bell she kept on her bedside table each night before she went to sleep and again when she awoke in the morning, repeating the phrase that had become her mantra- Believe it, be it. Seven months later, she emerged from the grueling competition as its first-ever female champion, claiming the title, the grand prize and, most of all-winning back her life. In Believe It, Be It, Ali shares for the first time her intimate story of personal and physical transformation and provides a rare glimpse inside life at the famous Biggest Loser ranch. Ali also shares the weight-loss strategies, eating habits, and workout tips that helped her lose-and keep off-more than 100 pounds. For anyone who has ever battled with weight loss or struggled to accept themselves for who they are, Ali Vincent's story provides hope that a happier, healthier, more fulfilling life is within reach. It all begins with believing that it's possible. Believe it, and be it.

Behind-The-Scenes Secrets to Losing Weight and Gaining the Inner Strength to Transform Your Life

Fix Your Head to Lose the Weight

From the man who created weight loss television comes a no-holds-barred guide to shedding the pounds for good, using the same problem-solving and motivational skills used so successfully with reality show contestants.

Every fat person (yes, "fat person"--there'll be no sugarcoating here) knows that you need to move more and eat less to shed pounds. Not exactly rocket science. Yet that simple formula doesn't get to the root of what makes someone top out at 500 pounds, or sometimes just carry an extra fifty. The big fat truth is that the secret to weight loss is what's in your head.

Viewers of Extreme Weight Loss, The Biggest Loser, The Revolution and other transformational shows have seen the "technicians"--the trainers, the nutritionists, the doctors, and other health pros who appear on-screen--but they've never seen the heart and soul behind these amazing makeovers. That would be JD Roth, the behind-the-scenes wizard who created weight loss television. Intimately involved in casting the shows' contestants, he's the guy whose picture they tape onto their elliptical trainers and angrily scream at each night--then hug out of gratitude the next morning. He's the guy who holds them when they cry and the one who tells them they need to get back on the treadmill even though they're crying. JD is the  tough-love dad for the contestants on these shows--love being the operative word. Because it's not just TV to JD; he's on a mission to change your life.

In The Big Fat Truth, JD will help you unearth the real reasons you're overweight (and it's not because you love food!). Then he'll show you how to create your own reality show and shake up your life to do the impossible. Included throughout are inspiring stories, advice, and before-and-after photos from people JD has helped to lose weight (both on camera and off), along with quick tips for how to stay accountable and a 30-day plan for putting this advice into action.

Interval Eating to Lose Weight and Feel Ageless

When you've tried practically every diet and have struggled for years to reach and maintain a healthy weight, what do you do next? If you're Heather and Terry Dubrow, MD, you create your own diet based on cutting-edge and Nobel-prize winning science that promises not just unprecedented metabolic control, but also an internal cellular rejuvenation with powerful antiaging effects. Then, after creating a diet that can transform your life from the inside out, you want to help as many people as possible look and feel their best, so you write a book about it!

In The Dubrow Diet, Orange County's favorite reality TV couple share the diet and exercise plan they created to end their own decades-long yo-yo dieting and flip on what they call the "ageless switch." The central concept is called interval eating, a practice based on research showing that when you eat is perhaps the most important factor in weight loss and weight control. With interval eating, the Dubrows will introduce you to a simple eating schedule that can help you:

 * reprogram your cells to go after stored fat for fuel.
 * lower insulin and normalize blood sugar.
 * fight off chronic inflammation linked to almost every major disease.
 * activate a process known as autophagy, your cells' self-cleaning process and an antiaging game changer.
 * increase your energy.
 * finally reach your goal weight.   
 * rejuvenate your skin and overall appearance.  

So, what are you waiting for? You have more power than you realize over the hormones that regulate your weight and the molecular factors that determine how you age. It's time to take advantage of this power with a diet that is not only doable but also sustainable and even fun! The Dubrows wouldn't have it any other way.

Ridha Arem

Boost Your Sluggish Metabolism to Lose Weight

World-renowned endocrinologist and author of the half million-copy bestseller, The Thyroid Solution, now presents his proven program for re-setting sluggish metabolisms to lose weight, improve thyroid wellness, and increase overall well-being.

Could your thyroid be making you fat? Do you have a hard time losing weight? If your thyroid and metabolism are slow, you can't lose weight simply by cutting back on what you eat. And if you're overweight--whether you suffer from a thyroid problem or not--your hormones are most likely out of whack and are keeping you from losing those extra pounds.

World-renowned endocrinologist Dr. Ridha Arem has treated hundreds of patients successfully for hormone-related weight problems--and almost every weight problem has an accompanying hormone problem. Now for the first time in The Thyroid Solution Diet, Dr. Arem makes his comprehensive hormone-balancing nutrition and weight-loss plan available to the public. With it, you will restore your health and feel better-- mentally and physically--as you get slimmer.

Dr. Arem perfected his unique diet after extensive research, modifying the Mediterranean Diet so that his plan is higher in protein, higher in fiber, and also low-glycemic. This way your meals are both satisfying and filling. Specific combinations of proteins and essential supplements at each meal rev your metabolism and reverse hormonal imbalances. And you can further personalize your weight-loss plan by choosing from Dr. Arem's extensive lists of Favorite Foods and from 48 delicious recipes created especially for this book.

Before you even start the diet, Dr. Arem takes you through a weeklong detox plan to rid your body of the environmental toxins that compromise your hormone functions and contribute to making you fat. You'll make his carefully formulated smoothie and also start to work with the illustrated 20/10 Exercise program--twenty minutes of aerobics and ten minutes of strength training--to generate energy and vitality.

Retrain your body, ramp up your energy, sleep better, reduce stress, and--finally--lose weight and keep it off. This comprehensive mind-body health and diet plan can help you.

From The Thyroid Solution Diet

Do you want to lose weight? Have you tried diet after diet and yet the stubborn pounds remain? Regardless of why you gained weight, once you're wearing those extra pounds, your metabolism shifts gears, triggering multiple hormonal changes that perpetuate weight gain by making your body resistant to losing weight. The only way to lose weight is to rebalance your hormone systems, and the Thyroid Solution Diet is meticulously crafted to do just that.

Ask yourself these questions: Are you always tired? Do you have dry skin and dry hair? Is your hair thinning? Are your hands and feet always cold? Do you have a lack of motivation or are you moody, anxious, irritable, or depressed? A thyroid imbalance could be causing any of these symptoms . . . and your weight gain, too. For decades, researchers knew that the thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland at the front of the neck, governed metabolism, mood, body fat, brain function, and even hearing and vision. But the details on how thyroid hormones control appetite, energy, and weight weren't clear until recently. Even if you haven't been diagnosed with a thyroid condition, or your doctor has told you your blood tests are normal, you might have a subclinical thyroid imbalance, meaning your blood tests are minimally abnormal or borderline. Many doctors ignore these small abnormalities, but losing weight with a borderline low thyroid condition is extremely difficult.
