Nuland, ‘How We Die’ Author, Dies at 83 ). ''The New York Times''. Retrieved 2014-03-04.〕 Although raised in a traditional Orthodox Jewish home, he came to consider himself agnostic, but continued to attend synagogue.〔Edward Hendrie, ''Solving the Mystery of Babylon the Great'' (Great Mountain, 2011), 148.〕 Nuland was a graduate of The Bronx High School of Science, New York University and Yale School of Medicine, where he obtained his M.D. degree and also completed a residency in surgery.〔 At the time of his death, he was living in Connecticut with his second wife, Sarah Nuland (née Peterson). He had four children, two from each marriage. His daughter Victoria Nuland, a career foreign service officer and the former U.S. ambassador to NATO and former spokesperson for the Department of State, was appointed Assistant Secretary, Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs in September, 2013.〔 Dr. Nuland avowed a “unique relationship” with death. The 1994 National Book Award for nonfiction was granted to his ''How We Die: Reflections on Life’s Final Chapter''.〔Emily Langer, “Sherwin B. Nuland, surgeon and writer who demystified death, dies at 83” (''The Washington Post'', March 5, 2014).〕 In a 2001 TED talk, which was released in October 2007, Nuland spoke of his severe depression and obsessive thoughts in the early 1970s, probably caused by his difficult childhood and the dissolution of his first marriage. As drug therapy remained ineffective, a lobotomy was suggested, but his treating resident suggested electroshock therapy instead, which led to his recovery.〔("Sherwin Nuland on Electroshock Therapy" ).
