The Big Picture: Getting Perspective on What's Really Important The Big Picture: Getting Perspective on What's Really Important Paperback Kindle Audible Audiobook Hardcover Audio, Cassette

Every day when I went to work as a surgeon I had to make life-and-death decisions.

For that reason, and because so many of the people and families I worked with had suddenly been forced to reconsider what’s really important in life, I had spent a lot of my own time searching for perspective on the Big Picture.

Part One covers some of the experiences and learnings in my personal journey. Part Two talks about some Big-Picture perspectives with very personal implications and important lessons I have learned that can and should make a difference in the way each of us live out our daily lives. The angle widens a bit more in Part Three to examine some major current societal issues that could benefit from some different, Big-Picture perspectives.

For me, success is defined by what I do with every opportunity, every platform I have been given, to positively affect the lives of others. I can only hope and pray that the lessons I have learned can make a difference.
