SynopsisFormer Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist shares his unique experience as a heart transplant surgeon and U.S. senator inspiring people to make a difference wherever they are and whatever position they are in by helping others, risking failure, challenging the status quo, and above all, having a heart to serve. One of the brightest and most forward-thinking senators, Frist tackles controversial issues to offer feasible solutions. His simple philosophy for peace, for example, is service. "People don't usually go to war against someone who helped save their children," Frist writes. "While the world often sees America's tougher side ... when people see America's more compassionate, humanitarian side, the barriers come down, and peace becomes a viable possibility." With heartfelt love for family and country, warmhearted humor, and a doctor's comforting tones, Frist writes openly about the values and experiences that shaped his life, and challenges and inspires everyone to find a place where they, too, can make a difference., Why would one of the world's most highly regarded heart transplant surgeons walk away from a beloved career at the pinnacle of his success to enter the world of politics? And why would this self-acknowledged political novice, who rose to one of the most powerful elected offices in the U.S., hold steadfastly to his word that he would serve only two terms in the U.S. Senate, and then relinquish his position as Majority Leader? For the first time, Bill Frist tells how he achieved his goals as a heart transplant surgeon, went on to become Majority Leader of the United States Senate in a remarkably short period of time, and why he was willing to leave it all behind. With a story steeped in heartfelt love for family and country, warm-hearted humor, and a doctor's comforting tones, Frist writes openly about the values and experiences that shaped his life and forged within him a sincere desire to serve. He challenges and inspires his readers to enter the fracas and find a place where they, too, can make a difference. And he outlines his plan for creating the best future for America., Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist shares his unique experience as a heart transplant surgeon and U.S. senator inspiring people to make a difference wherever they are and whatever position they are by helping others, risking failure, challenging the status quo, and above all, having a heart to serve., Former Senate Majority Leader and heart transplant surgeon Frist writes openly about the values and experiences that have shaped his life.
