"What a fun guide to our own lives, and for people of all ages! Everyone needs this book because everyone wants to be successful, and the best way to do that is to learn from others. Frank Boehm found 200 such role models for us. We identify with them because Frank listened so carefully and tenderly to their stories . . . just like the superb physician that he is. Frank shows us the reset button in our lives so that we can become our best selves." -Jim Cooper, U.S. Congressman
"Dr. Boehm's gifts as a physician and scholar are surpassed only by his extraordinary talent for illuminating the metacognitive perspective on human experience. His earlier writings, from Doctors Cry, Too to decades of editorials published in The Tennessean and other media, have given readers a special sensitivity to the emotional and cognitive manifestations of healing, living, and dying. Here, Dr. Boehm poignantly explores the ages and stages of meaning-making through people sharing their own compelling stories, giving us all food for thought as we reflect on our own." -Jeff Balser, MD, PhD. CEO, Vanderbilt University Medical Center
