31 Prize. Solomon has an unusual history, interweaving his literary and journalistic accomplishments with his achievements as a researcher and educator in the field of human behavior. He is a lecturer in Psychiatry at Weill-Cornell Medical College. Solomon is a masterful writer.To read this monumental work is to be rewarded on every page. The experience, overall, is transformative. But even if you choose not to read Far From the Tree in its entirety, I urge you to give yourself a gift
and at least read Solomon’s elegantly written introductory chapter, titled “Son.”
