The Foreword for the book was written by Dr. David Satcher, 16th Surgeon General of the United States. b) You Don’t have To Be Over Stressed All the Time.” This 450-page, self-help book was published by Outskirts Press in 2007.

As a result of his areas of expertise, Dr. Livingston reviews proposals for selected federal agencies (e.g., CMS); reviews manuscripts for various journals (e.g., Journal of the National Medical Society); is a member of the Technical Advisory Board of the District of Columbia Community Health Assessment Initiative; and is an Affiliated Member of the Resource Persons Network, Office of Minority Health Resource Center, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
