 Truly an exceptional man - Dr. Ben Carson September 4, 2008
Dr. Carson is the leading pediatric neurosurgeon in the world and the amazing fact is that he grew up in a single parent family in the ghetto and through the stength and power of a courageous mother, he rose to the top of his profession.
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!
Truly Inspiring June 4, 2008
Since 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.
A truly educational piece of literature! March 14, 2004

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. He graciously becomes transparent and reveals of himself for the benefit of the reader. His pearls of wisdom and sound advise yield a real education when reading his book. Everyone needs to read The Big Picture and to apply its principles. I appreciate him sharing in such a meaningful way!

This book should be a MUST READ for every parent and teacher as Dr Carson shares from his own experiences how he was motivated as a poor student to become a well known and respected pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital. With fascinating stories from his personal and professional life, Dr Carson weaves his wisdom with great suggestions for the racial, education and health care ills that plague our society today. It is a book you can't put down once you start reading it.

The first two parts of this book were inspiring. Dr. Carson started out by illustrating the "Big Picture" with stories from his work. In the second part he went on to talk about the importance of things like parenting, setting goals, etc. I found the last part not at all interesting. In it Dr. Carson talked about his ideas on how to overcome different social issues. This portion was atypical of his normal writing style and I found it neither captivating nor especially thought provoking.
