Book Reviews of The Big Picture
Book Review: The Big Picture
Summary: 5 Stars
My rating of 5 stars is based on some of Ben Carson's other books. The Big Picture is an excellent memoir of his life and role as the world's most foremost neurosurgeon. His stories about the struggles endured in his personal life had put into perspective for me the Big Picture of things. Even someone as great as the world's most sought out neurosurgeon had to stumble across things like predjudice, backstabbing, and setbacks within his own career. These things did not make him retreat or hide. We see how he deals with such obstacles in a graceful way, with him ultimately shining at the end. What I also like about this book is he describes the downfall of the healthcare industry and gives us glimpse into the politics of the healthcase system from a physician's point-of-view. Even though this story was written as an inspirational, Christian view-point, I have never found any of his books to be overly preachy or overwhelmingly Christian in philosophy and does not offend those who may not be Christian sensibility (like myself). I highly recommend this book to anyone, of any background, of any profession especially in times of doubt/support/encouragement/need.... it will definately bring into focus the Big Picture of things.
Summary of The Big Picture
Dr. Ben Carson is known as the originator of ground-breaking surgical procedures, a doctor who turn impossible hopes into joyous realities. He is known as well as a compassionate humanitarian who reaches beyond corporate boardrooms to touch the lives of inner-city kids. What drives him? The Big Picture. A vision of something truly worth living for, something that calls forth the best of his amazing talents, energy, and focus. In The Big Picture, Dr. Carson shares with you the overarching philosophy that has shaped his life, causing him to rise from failure to far-reaching influence. This book is not about HOW to succeed---it's about WHY to succeed. It's about broadening your perspectives. It's about finding a vision for your own life that can reframe your priorities, energize your efforts, and inspire you to change the world around you.Success Books
