Join a high-powered lawyer on his fight for life against brain cancer and his continuing efforts to remainForever Optimistic.
At age fifty-five, Robert S. Brams, a former college athlete, was in perfect health. Bob was blessed with a beautiful family, including his wife and two children. He had 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 face. What would the future hold for Brams and his family?
Brams has been through six extraordinary years-four hospitals, two brain surgeries, a seizure, a stroke, a coma, life support, ICUs, radiation, chemotherapy, various rehab regimens, a hemophilia diagnosis, and countless MRIs. With all this, Brams's insurers categorized him as a "Catastrophic Loss." Despite all that's happened, Brams is still in the fight, and he is determined to achieve an important purpose-to help beat brain cancer. While his legal career has ended, his continuing struggles have caused him to reprioritize his values and change his perspective on what really matters in life.

Readers from every walk of life looking for inspiration and motivation will find it in Brams's remarkable story. Struggles, setbacks, and failures in his youth were "no fun," but with optimism and determination, Brams found his best path and ultimately succeeded. He reminds us that it's not where you start, but rather where you finish.
