Product Description

Book Description
After telling the story of how he overcame an inner-city background to become a world renown neurosurgeon (Gifted Hands), Dr. Ben Carson now gives an inspirational look at the philosophy of life that helped him meet life's obstacles and leap over them. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Back Cover
In Think Big, which emanates from the last chapter of his best-selling Gifted Hands, Dr. Ben Carson prescribes his personal formula for success. And who could better advise than one who transformed his own life from that of being a ghetto kid with problems in school to becoming the most celebrated pediatric neurosurgeon in the world? With an acrostic, Dr. Carson spells out his philosophy of living: T -Talents/time: Recognize as gifts from God H -Hope for good things and be honest I -insight from people and good books N -Be nice to all people K -Knowledge: Recognize as they key to living B -Books: Read them actively I -In-depth learning skills: Develop them G -God: Never get too big for Him -- Think Big does not offer pat answers, or promise a life of ease, but it does show how a person should view problems, evaluate them, react to them, and eventually overcome them. The philosophy in Think Big can be applied by all individuals to their own lives and help them to make the most of the gifts that God has given them. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you've ever had a dream,..., 27 Jan 2003
Ben Carson's Think Big offers one of the most sincere refreshing an non patronizing advice and inspiration for anyone who's ever wanted something out of life on any level, and everyone who's ever felt like theirs is the impposible dream. From a kid in a single mom home on the wrong side of the "social track" to one of the worlds greatest neurologists, Carson offers some of the lessons he learnt about people life, and moreover some of the neccessary ingredients for aiming for the stars, falling short, picking yourself up and aiming more accurately. Heartfelt and clear cut, a good read by any standard.

4.0 out of 5 stars Think Big, 8 Feb 2009
By B. Popely - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an inspiring, true story of a black American boy who looked as though he was destined to go the way of many young adult males - from under-achieving at school to low paid job or, even worse, a life of crime and trouble. However, his mother intervenes and utilises her Christian faith to steer Ben Carson and his brother away from all that to being successful in school and eventually becomming a neuro-surgeon. This book is about the American Dream but it is a true story.
