Have you bought into the lie that you'll never amount to anything? In Think Big , Dr. Ben Carson is here to tell you some good news: none of that is true. By learning to think big, Ben rose from his humble beginnings to create a life full of amazing accomplishments and international renown. He climbed from the academic bottom of his fifth-grade class to become--at age thirty-three--head of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He learned that he had potential, but more importantly, he learned how to unleash it--and you can too. If you put the principles in this book in motion, you can transform your life into one you'll love. As Dr. Carson teaches you how to unlock your own potential, you'll also learn: The importance of surrounding yourself with a supportive community How to look for God's gifts in your daily life The key to shifting your perspective and thinking big Your life is big--far bigger than you've ever imagined. Inside these pages lie the keys to recognizing your full potential. If you're ready to build a life that is rewarding, significant, and abundantly fruitful, let Think Big be your guide. Review: Recommended for students and parents alike - A couple of years ago, I had the opportunity watch a wonderful movie about the life of Dr. Ben Carson. It was called Gifted Hands and it chronicled his rise from bottom of the class fifth grader in a poor single parent household, to brilliant pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins. Later, I found out that Dr. Carson had written several books intended to inspire young people to reach for their full potential. Yesterday, I have been thinking that my own sons could benefit from Dr. Carson's message. So I picked up Think Big, and read it in one day. Today I will hand it to my oldest son and I look forward to discussing the important messages in the book. This book is about becoming the best person you can be. While Dr. Carson incorporates the wisdom of honesty, helping others and understanding that God plays a major role in our lives, his strongest message is the importance of learning by reading. Is it unhealthy to read too much? Do we really need to learn so much anyway? I enjoyed Dr. Carson's refutations: "First, we cannot overload the human brain. This divinely created brain has fourteen billion cells. If used to the maximum, this human computer inside our heads could contain all the knowledge of humanity from the beginning of the world to the present and still have room left over." "All knowledge is important - a fact that some people do not want to hear. One of the wonderful things about learning is that knowledge not only translates from from area to another but is also an avenue that leads to understanding and insight." Dr. Carson goes on to provide examples supporting this claim. I thoroughly enjoyed the stories from his own life and I am hopeful that they will resonate with students - especially my own children. As a person who loves reading and knowledge, I am troubled by the attitude of those who claim not to enjoy reading. I think Dr. Carson is very perceptive when he claims that the more a person reads, the more they will enjoy it. Ultimately, it is reading that will change a person's life. "Reading is the way out of ignorance, and the road to achievement." This an ideal book for students and parents alike. It encourages us to be more than we thought possible. Review: Makes You Think Big! - I haven't finished reading the book yet and like it but not as well as "Gifted Hands". I believe the reason for that is much of what he writes about in "Gifted Hands" is repeated in "Think Big". I really like everything Dr. Carson writes but I really like him too! His books are unique in the fact that you feel that you are really experiencing the same things he experienced. His honesty and loyalty to mankind in general is outstanding! God put Ben here for a reason and that is to give humanity hope for a better way of life and future. The Bible tells us we are to edify and build up one another - Dr. Ben Carson has spent his whole life doing that. Having experienced the pains of poverty, he knows better than anyone what doing without and suffering humiliation is like. I love and respect the way in which he mentions his Mother and gives her all the credit for his success. He knows what honor is and has learned the art of achieving true humility. All of his books are awesome and easy to read and understand. He tells it like it is but with an abundance of encouraging words that follow. I have not read "America the Beautiful" but I have read the sample. Learned a lot about my country that I didn't know. That is what is wrong with our country - our children know nothing about how we became a nation under God nor do they seem to care. Every student should read "Gifted Hands" and "America the Beautiful" and if they did, I guarantee you that you would see more college graduates and less school dropouts. My life has been better because of Dr. Carson's books. I'm 66 years old and can think of anything better than an opportunity to meet him in person. I pray that I will be here in 2016 to see him win the Presidency. Even if he doesn't win the Presidency, I can assure you that he will make the world a better place trying. Just think, a genuine God fearing Christian man running our country! I could handle that. Do yourself a favor and do what Dr. Carson suggests. Read, Read and Read. Turn off the TV, the radio, the music and discover the world for a change! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #47,102 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #215 in Religious Leader Biographies #922 in Success Self-Help #943 in Christian Personal Growth | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,620 Reviews | ## Images ![Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vUaD4V8bL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended for students and parents alike *by S***S on October 28, 2013* A couple of years ago, I had the opportunity watch a wonderful movie about the life of Dr. Ben Carson.

It keeps you wanting to keep reading until you are finished. Carson has a great sense of humor and can make his stories really sparkle. He is humble even though the book is about thinking BIG, and some of the amazing part of his story is that he used to think a little too "big" about how smart he was when he started to succeed in his schoolwork, to the point it turned people away from him. That is what I like about the way he writes about himself... that he can laugh at himself and be humbled by his mistakes. He did not realize at the time that he let his academic success and increased sense of esteem ( contrasted to his class mates making fun of him when he could not read and was not doing well in school). The book is a contrast of his life when he was not doing well in school because he didn't try and didn't understand how much fun reading could be, and how reading opened up so many doors in his life, increased his self esteem, and how it took him on a journey that he is still on today, but along the way, he made mistakes in showing people how much knowledge he had gained from his love of reading and how being humble is important. This book is a GREAT book for reading to your child when he /she is about 8 or 9 or more. It will hold their interest and inspire them to work hard for their dreams. It is a beautifully written book and very inspirational. ## Frequently Bought Together - Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence - Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story - You Have a Brain: A Teen's Guide to T.H.I.N.K.
