FOREVER OPTIMISTIC: How I Got Up After a Brain Tumor Knocked Me Down

By Robert S Brams

In the midst of planning a vacation to Mexico with his wife and two children, attorney Robert Brams received a piece of devastating news. As the saying goes, "life is what happens when you're making other plans," and in this case life hit Brams with a gigantic wallop. Doctors discovered a "tiny spot" on a brain scan, which turned out to be a malignant tumor. He had undergone the MRI scan almost by accident-in fact, it was the result of a minor traffic accident. Since he was asymptomatic, the news seemed to come out of nowhere.Thus began a journey from a serious, potentially fatal illness to a guarded state of health, as well as toward a still-ongoing personal transformation. Brams had a very successful legal career that spanned three decades. His medical crisis focused his attention more intently on a new set of questions about life that had now become increasingly vivid. "I found that I needed to start thinking more critically about how my life evolved," he said, "and how I should now start leading my life and raising my family."Insightful, powerful, eminently readable, FOREVER OPTIMISTIC is by turns moving, humorous and brimming with hard-won lessons.
