Sir William Osler (1849-1919), one of the world's most influential physicians at the turn of the century, remained popular long after his death largely due to his publications. Regrettably, changing times and literary tastes have lessened the impact of Osler's writings despite the timelessness of his ideals and practical advice. Charles S. Bryan has successfully mended the situation with this book. Framing the great physician's message in contemporary, easily accessible terms, he allows today's readers to rediscover the immense appeal and pragmatism of Osler's stimulating writings. This book is based on the author's conviction that Osler was, above all, a motivator. He set high personal goals, achieved them, and inspired others to do the same. Dr. Bryan merges what Osler wrote, said, and did with the main themes of today's motivational literature, such as time management, finding mentors, positive thinking, caring, and seeking a balanced life.
