The Big Picture

Getting Perspective on What's Really Important

By: Ben Carson M.D., Gregg Lewis

Narrated by: John Pruden

Dr. Ben Carson is known as the originator of groundbreaking surgical procedures and a doctor who turns impossible hopes into joyous realities. But where does this incredible drive and focus come from? According to Dr. Carson himself, the answer is simple: The Big Picture.

Every day when Dr. Carson went to work as a surgeon, he had to make life-and-death decisions. For that reason, and because so many of the people and families he worked with had suddenly been forced to reconsider what's really important in life, he's spent a lot of his own time searching for perspective.

By finding a vision of something truly worth living for--something that shines a light on the best of his amazing talents, energy, and focus--Dr. Carson can discern what matters and leave the rest behind.

In The Big Picture, Dr. Carson sheds light on this life-changing philosophy, giving you the tools and encouragement you need to:

• View hardship as an advantage
• Determine what really matters
• See your life from a new perspective

The Big Picture is all about broadening your perspectives and finding a vision for your own life that can reframe your priorities, energize your efforts, and inspire you to change the world around you. Are you ready to see The Big Picture?

Good Book! Not the best narrator, but great story

Dr. Carson's life story is very interesting to me. I saw the Lifetime movie, Gifted Hands, and have been a fan since then. I've also seen him offering medical insight and political commentary on several news channels. I purchased 2 of his books. This book was good - very inspirational. Dr. Carson makes no apology for being a man of faith - I find that refreshing.
I did not however enjoy the narrator. This would have been so much better if Dr. Carson would have read it, but it was still a good story. I recommend it to anyone interested in a rags to riches story of how to overcome difficult circumstances.

learning about the beautiful mind of Dr. Carson!

Dr. Carson's account of life and growth among God's children brings hope that knowledge and understanding of this world's rich heritage!

great way to learn

great way to learn, expand the knowledge on the go. It is a great way to exercise the mind while you walk, exercise etc.

Very insightful

Big questions, big pictures and big insight. Like Dr. Ben Carson's book. Highly recommend.

Dr Carson's compassion for health care.

The fact that he said.....

Interest and emphasis have far more to do with achievement than any genetic predisposition.
