Summary: This is an excellent book outlining the life of a great man.
Review: The life of Ben Carson should not have ended up as it has. His early life represented the classic characteristics of all too many of young black males. Yet, Ben and his brother achieved great things because of very special people who touched their lives. Those special people included a wonderful mother who had the courage to raise her children in a manner which would guarantee success (her definition would not be embraced by Wall Street). There were other special influences including many teachers who had the compassion to teach from the heart. There are many, many wonderful lessons to be learned from this autobiography, and any adult or young person would be blessed to read about this special man from a special family.

Summary: I loved the book
Review: Think Big gives people a boost of confidence that they may or may not have. It gives them the courage to do what they always have wanted to do. If Ben Carson can come from the ghettos and become the best neurosurgon around, then anybody can do anything they want to

Summary: It's one of the most inspiring books on learning.
Review: Think Big is the most inspiring book I have ever read. I work with youth and it's a great tool for teaching them the importance of reading and learning. I've had the opportunity to meet Dr. Carson and the person is as great as the book. Kids of all ages can relate to his story and his message of thinking big. Adults will be inspired as well; inspired to read, to dream and to teach. Every teen ager in America should read this book.

Summary: Just like shelling beans
Review: This book was a tremendous help breaking out of a shell and instilling a thirst to do better. I read this book after finishing active military service time around 1996 and was searching for a foothold in "civilian'life". It has been years since reading this book but still some of principles inspire and have been incorporated in my belief system. Young people, this book definitely has beneficial keys that if you could only realize what is in store for you in later in life if you would only apply some of these principles, early on. One thing I really liked about this book is that it acknowledges God and is a very practical philosophy. One principle that I can still remember is how Dr. Carson many times in college studied by reading many different books on the same topical subject to broaden his depth of knowledge. Friends, I possess an average IQ, and have used this technique to have people give compliments on how intelligent I was ona particular subject.

Review: This book was particularly interesting Dr. Carson has given us the road map to success and we should put our youth as well as ourselves on this path of achieving greatness. I admire Dr. Carson who did not let peer pressure or neighborhood gossip distract him off the path of success. When I read this book there were some things that I am going utilize such as talent, being nice, ethics, books and most importantly god on my path of success in achieving my career goals. For about a year now I have shut off my cable and every night I read after getting home from work which has made a remarkable improvement in my life.

Books have become my best friend in shaping my mind and to increase my cognitive being in ways that are beyond my imagination. Whenever there is a subject that I have no knowledge of my local library has been my greatest source of information. Knowledge is power and a tool for success.
