Is Your Life Successful?

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 This book is filled with heart, humor, and amazing wake-up calls-as inspiring and original as it is fun. You might even expand your personal definition of a successful life like I did. -Arnold Shapiro, Academy Award & Emmy Award-Winning Producer Dr. Frank Boehm, an astute lifelong observer of human nature as a beloved and respected physician, artfully weaves the wisdom he gleaned from conversations with 200 remarkable people into a thought provoking and compassionate guide for fulfillment and success. -Bill Frist, U.S. Senator
