Maybe you’re ready to write a book, but you’re not sure exactly what topic you want to write about? Here is a short list of books I wish doctors would write… These are topics that have a high potential for success. Some of the subjects are more evergreen than others, but even the ones that focus on what’s going on now are commercially viable simply because “inquiring minds want to know…”

Maybe you want to reach people who are struggling with a particular health problem – such as diabetes, asthma, heart disease, etc. – what if you could share the stories of people who were struggling – just like the readers might be – and let them see that there were people like them who had the courage and the determination to make it through the problems… Books like these give people hope and can even help motivate them…

Or perhaps you want to share your practical expertise – so you could reach people who are living lives of quiet desperation as they struggle with diseases that could be prevented, or at least have their current symptoms diminished, by following your advice about lifestyle changes… These kind of books not only help build your reputation as an expert in your field, they also give people a road map to help them create a better, healthier lifestyle…

If your practice is related to babies, the birthing process, the challenges and joys of raising children, childhood diseases and illnesses – chances are you’ll find a hungry audience of parents and grandparents… Books like this are a prescription to prevent sleepless nights, walking the floor in worry and ease the stress felt thanks to your guidance…

And what better time than now to write about the state of health-care in general, and the things people can do to take responsibility for their overall health and well-being… plus help them understand what they need to know to get the best medical care possible… A timely book on this topic could catapult you to the top of media lists as an expert analyst. And think of the people who will learn how to get access to the best health care available…

Do you treat baby boomers? Again, there is a hungry audience just waiting to hang on your every word, in areas such as longevity, quality of life, general healthcare, and even alternative medicine and treatments – and what to watch out for… People are living longer, so why shouldn’t they live better? Doctor authors of these types of books can become celebrities in their own rights – with the potential for syndicated radio shows or newspaper columns… Not to mention make the rounds of the talk show circuit, public speaking engagements, etc.
