Publisher's Synopsis
It takes a lot of courage to walk away from a successful surgical career to become a yoga teacher. Especially after all the years of highly competitive schooling, followed by the mental, emotional, and physical stresses of surgical training. James K. Weber, however, took that huge leap-and along the way, he scored a third chance to make it right with the love of his life. It wasn't until after several heart attacks that a plan to leave the profession took hold. He came to think of his heart attacks as the key to improved health-something that would propel him to strike off on a new path. In this memoir, he recalls how he made such a huge decision. As you read his story, you won't be able to help but reflect on the critical decisions that you've made or deferred at the crossroads of your own life. Eminently readable and filled with anecdotes, reflections, pathos, and humor, this is an autobiography unlike any other-a testimony to the hardiness of the human spirit.
