Ben Carson – Gifted Hands: The Story of Ben Carson

Ben Carson – Gifted Hands is the story of Ben Carson, who became the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital when he was 33 years old, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2008.

This book is a brief, easy-to-read autobiography of a black man who is one of today’s leading neurosurgeons. While pursuing his career, Carson encountered prejudice, negative peer pressure, and politics in getting a job. His sense of humor, faith in God, patience, and his belief in the work ethic come through without preaching. In the last chapter, Carson gives recommendations to students on ways to live and to achieve.

If you’re looking for a truly inspirational read, I recommend buying this book.
