A Brief Outline of an Exceptional Life

By all measures, Dr. Monroe E. Trout has led the fullest of lives. Rising from a childhood emersed in the depths of the Great Depression, Dr. Trout's intelligence and disciplined determination enabled him, with the acknowledged help of those who early on recognized his potential, to achieve careers of leadership in medicine, law and business. Even as you admire his achievements, this book succinctly displays Dr. Trout's generosity and sense of obligation to make the world around him a better, more compassionate place. There is no sense of self congratulation here, only a recitation of facts that are allowed to speak for themselves. For all of his accomplishments, the more interesting aspects of the book are in regard to his love of art, culture and the personalities he has encountered throughout his life. His joust against Hillary Clinton's attempt to redesign the U.S. health care system is eye catching, and especially relevent today. The reader comes away wanting more personal detail, and while some is provided, it is just enough to augment the more public, philantropic side of a man dedicated not only to success, but to helping others create successes of their own.
