A moving autobiography that’s fitting for someone like me who just finished PA school! Dr. Singh had many obstacles to overcome and earned so many achievements. Very lucky to have met and been taught by this person, now happy to have read about his life.

I received an ARC of this book with thanks to Center Street via NetGalley

I have always loved reading about other people, their stories and how they've navigated their paths. This book was a wonderful one to read. It centered around Arun and his remarkable journey from troublesome boy in India, to respected and very successful cardiac surgeon in America. This was written in an easy to follow style and with Hanc, Singh has been able to articulate what it is to be an Indian immigrant chasing his surgical dreams in America. It highlighted the skills and compassion it takes not only to be a respected and successful surgeon but a humble and courteous man.

I marveled at his determination and discipline to transform his life and become successful on his chosen path. Facing many challenges along the way it was a reminder that the biggest challenge we face in life is oneself. With focus; putting your mind, heart and soul into your deepest desire, along with hard work and perseverance you will be successful. Whether the destination was your original goal or not, you'll go far as you've demonstrated your passion and desire to achieve. Singh is the perfect example of working hard to achieve your dreams and changing your circumstance.
