About this book
Readers will walk away inspired by this female neurosurgeon's memoir, "apt to apply her lessons on how we can carry forward with perseverance and passion" (Melissa Goltra, Managing Partner of FOCUS Training).
Becoming a doctor is hard. Becoming a surgeon, even harder. Becoming a neurosurgeon as an Indian woman who wants to have a healthy work-home life balance and kids? Almost impossible. But not for Dr. Sheri Dewan.
Always interested in science growing up, Dr. Dewan didn't start on the path of becoming a neurosurgeon until neurosurgery saved her mother's life from a ruptured brain aneurysm. As one of about two hundred female neurosurgeons in the United States, Dr. Dewan faced may trials and tribulations, including unsupportive male and female colleagues. But it was these challenges that helped shape Dr. Dewan into the confident doctor and woman she is today.
Cutting a Path: The Power of Purpose, Discipline, and Determination is the inspiring, eye-opening memoir of how Dr. Dewan overcame numerous personal and professional obstacles to reach her dream. Braided with advice that is applicable to anyone facing adversity achieving their career goals, her story will make you ask yourself: When the world tests you, do you have what it takes to shut out the noise, check in with yourself, and follow your passion?
