by Ben Carson (Author)

"Si no se arriesga, paga el precio. Conozca el riesgo y coseche las recompensas. En nuestra cultura de evasión de riesgos, valoramos en alto grado la seguridad. Compramos seguros para las vacaciones. Probamos los autos en choques simulados. Extendemos las garantías de los artefactos electrodomésticos. Sin embargo, al aislarnos de lo desconocido, de los riesgos de la vida, nos perdemos la gran aventura de vivir nuestras existencias a su pleno potencial. Ben Carson pasó su niñez como un niño en riesgo en las calles de Detroit, y en la actualidad corre riesgos a diario al realizar complejas cirugías en el cerebro y el cordón espinal. Ahora, ofreciendo inspiradores ejemplos personales, el Dr. Carson nos invita a abrazar el riesgo en nuestras vidas. Estas son nociones de un hombre cuya vida exhibe de un modo dramático una conexión entre los grandes riesgos y los grandes triunfos, las cuales le ayudarán a desvanecer su temor al riesgo para que pueda soñar en grande, apuntar muy alto, moverse con confianza y cosechar recompensas que nunca imaginó. Al evadir el riesgo, está también evadiendo el pleno potencial de su vida? La cirugía era tan arriesgada como cualquier cosa que el Dr. Ben Carson hubiera visto. Las hermanas Bijani, gemelas unidas, tenía en común una parte del cráneo, tejido cerebral, y un conjunto crucial de vasos sanguíneos. Una o ambas podían morir durante la operación. No obstante, las mujeres querían vidas separadas, y estuvieron dispuestas a aceptar el riesgo de alcanzar ese objetivo, incluso contra el consejo de sus médicos... Durante su niñez en las peligrosas calles de Detroit, y como cirujano en las salas de operaciones de todo el mundo, el Dr. Ben Carson ha aprendido todo en cuanto a riesgos, pues los enfrenta a diario. A pesar de su peligrosa niñez, llegó a ser un cirujano de clase mundial precisamente debido a los riesgos que el Dr. Ben Carson estuvo dispuesto a correr. En su penetrante nuevo libro examina nuestra cultura de protegernos a toda costa, y el significado del riesgo y la seguridad en nuestras vidas. En nuestro mundo del siglo veintiuno nos aislamos con seguridad. Aseguramos todo, desde las vacaciones hasta los teléfonos celulares. Seguimos dietas bajas en colesterol y compramos fondos mutuos de bajo riesgo. Pero al final, toda persona enfrenta el riesgo, como las gemelas Bijani lo hicieron al tomar su valiente decisión. Incluso si nuestras decisiones no son tan dramáticas o el resultado no es tan doloroso, qué significan si retrocedemos en lugar de avanzar? Hemos sofocado tanto nuestros corazones y mentes que no logramos alcanzar todo lo que la vida puede ofrecernos y todo lo que podemos ofrecerle a la vida? Este libro guía al lector a través de un examen del riesgo, incluyendo: - Una breve revisión del hecho de correr riesgos en la historia. - Una evaluación de los costos y las recompensas reales del riesgo. - Un aprendizaje de cómo evaluar y aceptar los riesgos. - Una comprensión de cómo los riesgos revelan el propósito de su vida."

No risk, pay the cost. Know risk, reap the rewards. In our risk-avoidance culture, we place a high premium on safety. We insure our vacations. We check crash tests on cars. We extend the warranties on our appliances. But by insulating ourselves from the unknown---the risks of life---we miss the great adventure of living our lives to their full potential. Ben Carson spent his childhood as an at-risk child on the streets of Detroit, and today he takes daily risks in performing complex surgeries on the brain and the spinal cord. Now, offering inspiring personal examples, Dr. Carson invites us to embrace risk in our own lives. From a man whose life dramatically portrays the connection between great risks and greater successes, here are insights that will help you dispel your fear of risk so you can dream big, aim high, move with confidence, and reap rewards you've never imagined. By avoiding risk, are you also avoiding the full potential of your life? The surgery was as risky as anything Dr. Ben Carson had seen. The Bijani sisters---conjoined twins---shared part of a skull, brain tissue, and crucial blood flow. One or both of them could die during the operation. But the women wanted separate lives. And they were willing to accept the risk to reach the goal, even against the advice of their doctors ... As a child on the dangerous streets of Detroit, and as a surgeon in operating theaters around the world, Dr. Ben Carson has learned all about risk---he faces it on a daily basis. Out of his perilous childhood, a world-class surgeon emerged precisely because of the risks Dr. Carson was willing to take. In his compelling new book, he examines our safety-at-all-costs culture and the meaning of risk and security in our lives. In our 21st-century world, we insulate ourselves with safety. We insure everything from vacations to cell phones. We go on low-cholesterol diets and buy low-risk mutual funds. But in the end, everyone faces risk, like the Bijani twins did with their brave decision. Even if our choices are not so dramatic or the outcome so heartbreaking, what does it mean if we back away instead of move forward? Have we so muffled our hearts and minds that we fail to reach for all that life can offer us---and all that we can offer life? Take the Risk guides the reader through an examination of risk, including: * A short review of risk-taking in history. * An assessment of the real costs and rewards of risk. * Learning how to assess and accept risks. * Understanding how risk reveals the purpose of your lives
