Personal Review: Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for
Excellence by Ben Carson M.D.
Dr. Ben Carson is an extremely well accomplished neurosurgeon at Johns
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He grew up in Detroit with his
brother, the two of them sons of a single mom. As his story begins, Dr.
Carson acknowledges that in his youth he did poorly in school, but through
the help of his mother and other kind souls, he was able to become the
man and professional he is today. Think Big is more than an
autobiography, it's a book about achievement. If you don't know how to

succeed or know if you're headed in the right direction, Think Big helps
puts your doubts to rest.
Most striking and infectious is Dr. Carson's regard for books. He believes,
as experience has shown him, that through books, one's imagination
sparks and one's ability to relate others soars. The book is like a catalyst
for change.
In my own reading, I was inspired to re-evaluate my interests. Through Dr.
Carson's writings about the significance of in-depth learning, he illustrates
how an enthusiasm for medicine (not a drive for one-upmanship)led him to
fulfillment and success. As a professional, I understand the significance of
keeping up with trends or as a hobbiest, with keeping up with the toys of
my trade. Yet something different happens when we make the decision to
immerse ourselves in a subject. Whether it be in accounting, literature,
stamp collecting, or volleyball, your mind and attitude are different when
you approach them with more than just a cursory reading or more than a
"just enough to do my job" sort of attitude.
Think Big is part biography, part advice, part medicine, and it is excellent
preparatory reading for college-bound seniors and undergraduate pre-
meds. Yet, it is also part drama and entirely true, which makes it fair
reading for any person young or older who wishes to learn about passion,
learning, and determination from someone who has experienced it all.
