 Rating:  - The Big PictureMy 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. ... Read More Rating:  - A gentle, bold voiceSome great ideas here from a gentle voice. Dr Ben Carson opens with a very moving narrative, recalling early infant craniopagus separations. Dr. Carson lays out a strong critique of the "victim mentality", not only dismantling this corrosive worldview. But he offers a memorable acronym, that systematically points the way out of this way destructive thought process. He also clarifies the definition of true success in terms that are often viewed as countercultural, this is quite refreshing. ...

He, like Bill Cosby, challenges young people of all races to over come their anger and victim mentality and strive for excellence. A great human being and great teacher! Rating: - Truly InspiringSince meeting Dr. Carson personally two months ago, I have become thoroughly engrossed in his personal journey to success while maintaining a deep faith and abiding love for humankind. His writing is compelling and challenging. Once starting this book, I couldn't put it down. Rating: - A truly educational piece of literature!This is my first Ben Carson book, and I can hardly finish without constantly stopping to tell someone about this amazing book! I had the brief opportunity to meet this author in February of this year, and I was amamzed then, but after starting the book I hardly know what to say. Dr. Carson has angel's wings! He is a special anointed vessel sent by God! He demonstrates through The Big Picture the ability to relate to all levels of society. He understands the pangs of the least and the priviledge of the greatest. ... Read More
