A candidate for the Republican party in 2016, Dr. Ben Carson arrived on the political scene in 2013 after a full and very successful career as a pioneer in neurosurgery.
A religious man, Dr. Carson is a Seventh-day Adventist and espouses all aspects of the Constitution, including the second amendment.
A former Democrat and Independent, his involvement in the Republican party began after a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2013 where he seemed to speak out against the policies of the Obama Administration.
After initial success in the 2016 Republican primaries, he eventually dropped out and threw his support behind Donald Trump. This move was later rewarded when President Trump appointed Dr. Carson as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in his administration.
Dr. Carson’s books are, on the whole, more inspirational, replying on his faith and the amazing story of his life.
Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story
Long before anyone knew Dr Carson as a politician, he was a world-renowned neurosurgeon. In his autobiography he tells his personal story, facing all the challenges one might expect of a young black boy in urban Detroit. Dr. Carson details his poverty, broken home and how through his own hard work and the sacrifice of his mother managed to graduate medical school and eventually rise to become director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions – by the age of 33.
More than a personal story, Dr Carson takes you inside the stories of others, detailing world’s first surgeries that changed the lives of others. It’s an awe-inspiring book about a man who’s humility, work-ethic and compassion helped change the lives of so many for the better.
Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence
It should come as no surprise that a man who raised himself up from an inner-city kid in a broken home to become a world-renowned neurosurgeon should live by a certain code. Dr. Ben Carson certainly does and he’s written a book detailing that code so you can achieve more in your life too.
He doesn’t promise fame and riches, but he does promise a better life and that you’ll likely achieve even more than you set out to.
You won’t change your life overnight, but you’ll be on a path to success.
The Big Picture: Getting Perspective on What’s Really Important in Life
A followup to “Think Big” Dr. Ben Carson’s book “The Big Picture,” moves beyond how to make your life better and tackles the more critical question of: why?
In it, he shares the philosophy that shaped his actions and life, allowing him to overcome the challenges of his youth as an inner-city black kid in the 1950s and ’60s.
Dr. Carson details the reasons to change your own life and how with vision, effort and perserverance you can change your world and the world of those around you.
Take the Risk: Learning to Identify, Choose, and Live with Acceptable Risk
Risk is a part of life. In fact, taking risks (or not taking them) is a the basis of our every day behaviour. As a world-renowned neurosurgeon, Dr. Ben Carson is no stranger to taking risks. Neither are his patients. “Take the Risk” is a book born out of Dr. Carson’s successful surgery to separate the Bijani sister, two conjoined twins who accepted the risks of being separated (despite the advice of their doctors) to live the individual lives they wanted to live.
Dr Carson examines our safety-first culture and how it maybe preventing us from living more full lives.
In this book he gives an overview of risk taking in history, a practical look at the costs and rewards, how to properly assess risk and, philosophically, how risk can reveal the purpose in our lives.
American the Beautiful
Rather than well on the negatives in the world around us, Dr. Ben Carson accepts them as facts. Maybe you don’t like what America has become. Or maybe you just think it can be better. Either way, Dr. Carson lays out a plan to make America better.
To do this we must first understand what made America great in the first place. In “America the Beautiful” Dr. Carson details what is good about America, where have we diverged from the country’s founding principles and what fundamental beliefs we need to re-energize in order to move the country on a better path.
He documents the Judeo-Christian principles on which America is founded, and tackles issues like our eduction system, healthcare and economics.
Fundamentally, America can be a better place if we use our God-given talents to help ourselves, our families, communities, country and the world.
One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America’s Future
Seemingly an eternal optimist, Dr Ben Carson’s book “One Nation” is in stark contract to much of his past works, painting a shockingly bleak picture of present-day America. But true to his core, in it he details a path forward.
Dr. Carson’s main critiques in this book are the Obama Administration’s reckless healthcare and spending plans, the corporate media and an obsession with being politically correct. But perhaps the biggest issue of all is how Republicans and Democrats have lost the ability to engage in civil conversation to work together, find compromises and create a better country.
Falling back on his love for the constitution, Dr. Carson proposes a plan to make America “one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all
One Vote: Make Your Voice Heard
Conservative or Democrat, most Americans aren’t happy with the direction the country is headed in. And according to Dr. Ben Carson, that might be why more people didn’t vote, than did, in the 2012 election. Increasingly, average citizens are becoming disenfranchised.
In his book “One Vote” Dr. Carson not only makes the case of why you should vote, but gives every day Americans the ability to do so on an educated basis. This book is a tool to ask the right questions, check the voting records of politicians (to see if they actually do what they say) and find the candidates that best suit your values.
You Have a Brain: A Teen’s Guide to T.H.I.N.K. B.I.G.
A powerful self-help book from a man who has lived it, “You Have a Brain” is an inspiring guide to becoming a better human being.
Written by former Republican presidential candidate and world-renowned neurosurgeon, Dr. Ben Carson was a black boy, in a tough neighborhood, from a poor family and a broken home. And he’s achieved monumental things.

My Life: Based on the Book Gifted Hands
An updated edition of Dr. Ben Carson’s first book “Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story” this autobiography details how a poor black boy with a temper defied all odds after a critical moment in his life. Dr. Carson attacked another boy with a knife and forced him to reconsider everything about his life. Committed to not being just another statistic, he dedicated his life first to his studies, then to serving his community. From a scholarship to Yale to becoming a neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Carson is an example of how willpower can drive success.

A More Perfect Union: What We the People Can Do to Reclaim Our Constitutional Liberties
Another inspirational book from Dr. Ben Carson, “A More Perfect Union” details the reasons why the former Republican presidential candidate decided to run for office and why every American should do what they can to protect the fundamental principles America is founded on.
When asked why a man with zero political experience should run for the highest office in the land, Dr. Carson’s answer is profound in it’s simplicity. “It’s true that I’ve never voted for a budget America could not afford. I’ve never raised anyone’s taxes. And I’ve never promised a lobbyist anything in exchange for a donation.”
More than just lofty opionions, as is usually the case with Dr. Carson, there’s a practical how-to element and a thorough explanation of why it matters. And it all starts with the Constitution.
Dr. Carson outlines a concise reading of the Constitution, which was written simply, for all to understand. And he highlights the importance of a clear understanding of its meaning, so average Americans can defend it against misinterpretation. Chiefly among those he highlights the right to freedom of speech, the right to bear arms and the right to freely practise one’s religion.
Much like how the Bible provides practical rules for how to live one’s life, Dr. Carson emphasizes how the Constitution provides practical rules for society.
