About this audiobook

Do you feel like your life is a series of shattered dreams? 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.

    Dear Ben,I'd like to thank Jehovah for creating in you, a courageous and devout spirit.He truly works in mysterious ways. When my children were young, we experienced a few weeks without electricity. What normally had been movie time was transformed into family reading time. This revolutionary turn in our lives fruited a Dentist, a Stock Analyst, an Engineer, a CPA and a Personal Trainer. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading your works as they vastly increase my vocabulary-lol. Keep doing what God has created you to do, thus empowering others to do likewise. . . SMILE!!!

    Dr. Ben Carson is an extremely well accomplished neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He grew up in Detroit with his brother, the two of them sons of a single mom. As his story begins, Dr. Carson acknowledges that in his youth he did poorly in school, but through the help of his mother and other kind souls, he was able to become the man and professional he is today. Think Big is more than an autobiography, it's a book about achievement. If you don't know how to succeed or know if you're headed in the right direction, Think Big helps puts your doubts to rest.Most striking and infectious is Dr. Carson's regard for books. He believes, as experience has shown him, that through books, one's imagination sparks and one's ability to relate others soars. The book is like a catalyst for change. In my own reading, I was inspired to re-evaluate my interests. Through Dr. Carson's writings about the significance of in-depth learning, he illustrates how an enthusiasm for medicine (not a drive for one-upmanship) led him to fulfillment and success. As a professional, I understand the significance of keeping up with trends or as a hobbiest, with keeping up with the toys of my trade. Yet something different happens when we make the decision to immerse ourselves in a subject. Whether it be in accounting, literature, stamp collecting, or volleyball, your mind and attitude are different when you approach them with more than just a cursory reading or more than a "just enough to do my job" sort of attitude. Think Big is part biography, part advice, part medicine, and it is excellent preparatory reading for college-bound seniors and undergraduate pre-meds. Yet, it is also part drama and entirely true, which makes it fair reading for any person young or older who wishes to learn about passion, learning, and determination from someone who has experienced it all.
