An interesting story about overcoming prejudice, trauma and grief told at an engaging pace. Singh has a compelling history, both from his adolescence rebellion, to finding success and calling as a renowned surgeon.

Okay writing and a fairly interesting premise, but nothing makes this book stand out in my opinion. There's plenty of better medical-memoir titles out there.

Your Heart, My Hands was an excellent biography about an Indian surgeon and how he came to be one. The book is easy to follow and not written in a very complicated medical way which I appreciated. It was interesting to read about Arun's childhood, family and all the struggles he had to face to succeed in life.
I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading biographies.

I have always loved reading about other people, their stories and how they've navigated their paths. This book was a wonderful one to read. It centered around Arun and his remarkable journey from troublesome boy in India, to respected and very successful cardiac surgeon in America. This was written in an easy to follow style and with Hanc, Singh has been able to articulate what it is to be an Indian immigrant chasing his surgical dreams in America. It highlighted the skills and compassion it takes not only to be a respected and successful surgeon but a humble and courteous man.

I marveled at his determination and discipline to transform his life and become successful on his chosen path. Facing many challenges along the way it was a reminder that the biggest challenge we face in life is oneself. With focus; putting your mind, heart and soul into your deepest desire, along with hard work and perseverance you will be successful. Whether the destination was your original goal or not, you'll go far as you've demonstrated your passion and desire to achieve. Singh is the perfect example of working hard to achieve your dreams and changing your circumstance.

This book was one of the kind. An unexpected biography with a sense of adventure and advices.

I am generally not into biography since they are biased. I cannot say this was totally objective but reading it felt just right, felt close and understanding about the man, the surgeon, the father and the human from personal to medical. The success and failures.

Rags to riches stories are always a sure hit considering how many people are lost and looking to get back on track in life. Along that story line we have Dr. Arun Singh's book Your Heart, My Hands which is coming out shortly. Dr. Singh a long time cardiothoracic surgeon with self-declared 15000+ heart surgeries chronicles his journey from a small town in India to becoming a preeminent surgeon in the US. Born in a lower middle class family ( It's an assumption based on the facts presented) with all the qualities of a mischievous child who is always getting in trouble like many kids of that age do with no clear direction in life finally buckles down after some life altering events and self-reflection and eventually gets an opportunity to come to the US to do surgical internship and eventually becoming a successful surgeon. Along the way, he had to face his share of racism as was very common during that time but how with hard work and little luck he overcame it all and went on to have a long and successful career as a cardiothoracic surgeon. But alas, old age and some institutional level politics forced him to retire.

Overall, I think this is a good motivational biography yet thought provoking.
