Winners of the 2007 Quill Awards—"the only book awards to pair a populist sensibility with Hollywood-style glitz [and] the first literary prizes to reflect the tastes of all the groups that matter most in publishing: readers, booksellers and librarians"—were recently announced on WNBC and The Today Show by Al Roker and Ann Curry. The top honor in the Health/Self-Improvement category goes to Dr. Jerome Groopman (above) for How Doctors Think. As the Dina and Raphael Recanati Chair of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and chief of experimental medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, he brings his wealth of doctor knowledge to the 92nd Street Y on October 16.
