Clear!: Living the Life You Didn't Dream Of

Herman J. Williams was on the verge of living his ultimate dream of becoming an orthopedic surgeon to elite athletes -- when his life took a shocking detour.
"Herman!" screamed his beautiful fiancée, Jeannie, as he lay lifeless on a gymnasium floor.
How could a healthy 31-year-old collapse during an afternoon basketball game with his fellow medical residents?
"No pulse!" they shouted. "He's not breathing."
When the paramedics arrived, their defibrillator did not work!
By the grace of God, Herman survived.
But this life-changing event killed the dream that he had worked so hard to achieve.
Depressed and disabled, Herman refused to give up.
So, he reinvented himself.
And thanks to the unwavering love and support of his family, his wife, Jeannie, and later their son, Cole, and lifelong friends and dedicated mentors, Herman created a deeply fulfilling life and career that helps more people than he ever could have imagined in his original dream.
Now he's sharing his inspiring success formula to help you endure life's crushing blows, so that you find purpose, and cultivate peace and joy every day.
"My message is that you have to embrace your current reality and decide that you'll make a positive difference for others," says Herman. "I want my story to inspire you to create your best life possible."
Dr. Augustus White, Herman's longtime mentor who is an Orthopedic Surgeon and a Harvard Medical School Professor, adds: "I got engrossed in this story and could not put it down. The writing is excellent, concise, and moves along very nicely. This very impressive narrative about Herman's resilience is honest and not pretentious. It's a love story as well. Herman has a great message that will resonate with people and embolden them to get up, try again, and commit to helping others. It's awesome."

Community & Culture

Steve D. Bullock was one of 22 children born to a sharecropper in segregated North Carolina...
And rose to become the first African American President of the American Red Cross.
Now his book chronicles how his "Four Pillars" of God, Family, Education, and Career elevated him to a position to uplift humankind on a global scale.
He did that when personally hauling giant sacks of rice to Hurricane victims in Honduras... delivering aid to refugees in Bosnia... and providing resources for Americans stricken by floods, fires, tornadoes, and other tragedies.
Now his book can serve as a blueprint to empower your success in business and in life.
"I intend to add value to your life by presenting strategies for managing and overcoming the challenges and barriers that all of us encounter in the pursuit of our life's goals, including those involving gender bias, poverty, education, racism, youth, and aging," Steve writes in the Introduction of his powerful memoir.
"Throughout my career," he writes, "I have worked with people from all walks of life, and this book is written for everyone... In doing so, I pray that the stories, lessons, and life achievement strategies on the following pages will help you discover your potential and power within, so you can, as Emerson so eloquently said, make miracles happen for yourself and the world.
The proud father and grandfather is celebrating 56 years of marriage to Doris Bullock, whom he met in 1956 at Virginia Union University, an HBCU where he serves on the Board of Trustees.
As CEO of The Bullock Group, which provides consulting for businesses and non-profits, Steve teaches his self-styled model of defining and evaluating "Purpose, Preparation, Performance, and Results" when setting and working toward personal and professional goals. 
You can read about this success formula in My Name Is Steve Delano Bullock: How I Changed My World and The World Around Me Through Leadership, Caring and Perseverance.
