Summary
Throughout his life, renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson has needed to overcome many obstacles: His father leaving the family; being considered stupid by his classmates in grade school; growing up in inner-city Detroit; and having a violent temper. But Dr. Carson didn't let his circumstances control him and instead discovered eight principles that helped shape his future.
In You Have a Brain: A Teen's Guide to Think Big, Dr. Carson unpacks the eight important parts of Thinking Big - Talent, Honesty, Integrity, Being Nice, Knowledge, Books, In-Depth Learning, and God - and presents the stories of people who demonstrated those things in his life. By applying the idea of T.H.I.N.K. B.I.G. to your life, and by looking at those around you as well, you too can overcome obstacles and work toward achieving your dreams.

Loved it!
My kids loved this book! It’s engaging, encouraging, and informative. My 12 year old son was especially engaged in Dr. Carson’s humble transparency and diligence. Are your kids struggling with peer pressure? Read the book. Are your kids struggling with entitlement? Read the book. Are your kids “bored” with reading? Read the book… just do it you won’t regret getting this one. Excellent!!

Every youth 14-18, should read this about Ben Carson. And then every member of congress should be forced to read it.

You Have a Brain Review
Would you listen to You Have a Brain again? Why?
Yes, The author shows how powerful your mind is if you use it. He certainly challenges everyone to seek all the adventures available as each will provide you with more skills and knowledge to enable you to be more than you ever thought was possible.
What other book might you compare You Have a Brain to and why?
I can't think of any similar book.
Which scene was your favorite?
The scene where he sees the lab tech job opening at a local college and decides to apply even though he is still in high school. He was able to submit an excellent resume because he had held many lab tech jobs in high school. He had obtained each job because his science teachers had recommended him highly to their colleagues after he had worked with them. However what really made him outstanding to the professor interviewing him was that he loved classical music as did the professor.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Outstanding book. I gave a copy to each of my grandkids to read. I don't they'll get that kind of knowledge from school.

Use your brain!
This isn’t just a motivational book. It IS motivational, but it’s so much more. Read and be encouraged. Now I only wish I could spend an afternoon chatting with Dr. Carson’s mother!
