Updated
Mark Bertolini appeared on Invest Like the Best to discuss performance during pain, drawing on various literary works and texts during the conversation. Bertolini cited Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince to explain the risks inherent in challenging an established order, noting that he kept a related quote with him throughout his working career. While recounting a difficult period involving his son's illness, Bertolini described studying with the medical team every morning using Tinsley R. Harrison's Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine alongside other resources. He also discussed Leonard T. Perlmutter and Jenness Cortez Perlmutter's The Heart and Science of Yoga, explaining how the book helped him explore yoga's deeper connection to Western medicine beyond just physical practice. Building on this exploration of yoga's teachings and philosophy, Bertolini mentioned reading The Bhagavad Gita translated by Jack Hawley and Swami Paramananda's The Upanishads, realizing through these texts that yoga traditions were far richer and more expansive than the physical exercises commonly practiced in the United States.
