More about the book

At fifty-five, Robert S. Brams, a former college athlete, enjoyed perfect health, a loving family, and a successful law career in Washington, DC. However, a car accident led to an MRI revealing a brain tumor, shattering his idyllic life. Diagnosed with brain cancer, Brams faced one of life’s greatest challenges. Over six years, he endured four hospitals, two brain surgeries, a seizure, a stroke, a coma, life support, ICUs, radiation, chemotherapy, and a hemophilia diagnosis, all while being labeled a “Catastrophic Loss” by his insurers. Despite these trials, Brams remains determined to fight and aims to contribute to the battle against brain cancer. His legal career may have ended, but his experiences have reshaped his values and perspective on what truly matters. Confronted with an uncertain future, Brams shares profound insights on life, love, family, education, business, and passion. His journey offers inspiration and motivation to readers from all backgrounds. Reflecting on past struggles and setbacks, he emphasizes that success is defined not by where you begin but by where you ultimately finish, reminding us of the power of optimism and determination in overcoming adversity.
