Sample Book Insights:

#1 I was raised to believe that I would become a doctor like my father, and that walking in his footsteps would magically fix the mistake of his death. But as I got older, I began to realize that I wasn’t living the dream I thought I was.

#2 I had spent years pursuing a career as a physician, and while I was happy, I was also burned out and unhappy. I had no idea what to do with my life. I had tried everything to avoid the conclusion that I had chosen unwisely, but I couldn’t anymore.

#3 I realized that I was free. I had saved enough money to support myself for the rest of my life without worrying about what I did for a living. I had embraced the mantra of frugality, saving, and investing wisely.

#4 I began to rebuild my sense of self brick by brick. I asked myself some uncomfortable questions, such as who I was outside of being a doctor, what made my life feel purposeful, and what I wanted to accomplish on this earth before I died.
