Summary
Join a high-powered lawyer on his fight for his life against brain cancer and learn how to remain Forever Optimistic。
At age fifty-five， Robert S。 Brams， a former college athlete， was in perfect health。 He had a beautiful wife， two children in college， a circle of close friends， and a hard-driving international law practice as partner at one of the most prestigious firms in Washington， DC。 But after a fateful car accident， an MRI scan revealed a shadow on his brain that suddenly shattered his carefully constructed life。 Brams was diagnosed with brain cancer—one of the most overwhelming challenges a person can ever face。 What would the future hold in store for Bob Brams and his family？
Six extraordinary years and four hospitals later， after a brain surgery， a seizure， a stroke， a coma， life support， ICUs， radiation and chemotherapy， various rehab regimens， and countless MRIs， Brams is still in the fight， and he is determined to help others。 While his legal career has ended， his continuing struggles， including the regrowth of a deadly tumor requiring a second surgery， caused him to reprioritize his values and focus on what really matters in life。
Standing at death’s door and now confronted by an uncertain prognosis， Brams’s insights on life， love， family， service， and finding your passion have a distinctive power， clarity， and relevance。 Readers from every walk of life looking for inspiration and motivation will find it in Brams’s remarkable story。
Nothing came easily for Brams—not in school， not in sports， and not in his career。 After persevering and ultimately achieving success at the top of his profession， Brams reminds us that it’s not where you start， but rather where you finish。 He now feels compelled to focus on a new mission in life: that is to help in the fight against cancer。
Inspiring， powerful， and eminently readable， Forever Optimistic: Fighting Brain Cancer， Finding Your Best Path， and Leading a Life With Purpose is by turns moving， humorous， and brimming with hard-won wisdom。 It is a story of remarkable courage in the face of tragedy。 Brams reminds us to never give up—no matter the odds。
