reviewed White Coat Tales: Medicine's Heroes, Heritage, and Misadventures on January 15, 2015 White Coat Tales: Medicine's Heroes, Heritage, and Misadventures
After I read this book, which I finished many, many years ago, I had become self-critical of any future endeavours which would take up a lot of my time. I would ask myself "is this or will this be meaningful to me?", and if the answer was "no", I wouldn't do it. It was this book that influenced me to consciously live as meaningful a life as possible, to place a great value on the journey and not just the destination, while knowing that "meaningful" doesn't always mean "enjoyable". "Meaningful" should be equated with "fulfilling".
So I studied Physics instead of Engineering. I went to York U instead of U of T. I went to Europe instead of immediately entering the workforce after graduation.
I want to recommend this book to all of my grade 12 students.
