Editorial Review:

Product Description:
You can find our culture’s obsession with avoiding risk everywhere, from multiple insurance policies to crash-tested vehicles. But is ducking risk the most productive way for us to live? Surgeon and author Dr. Ben Carson, who faces risk on a daily basis, offers an inspiring message on how accepting risk can lead us to a higher purpose.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - simple-minded drivel
I have no doubt that Ben Carson is an excellent neurosurgeon, but what comes across in this book is little more than opportunism, self-promotion, and bone-headed conservative ideology gussied up in a feel-good self-help package. His vaunted best/worst method of assessing risk might sound good on paper, but you need only read through his own real-world applications to discover just how ridiculous and useless it is. In omitting the far more important factor of likelihood from his risk assessment analyses, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Take the Risk: Learning to Identify, Choose and Live with Acceptable Risk
This is an insightful, engaging, life changing book that is both easy and fun to read. I recommend this book for anyone stuck in a rut wondering what's next and especially for those who have spent a life time playing it safe for no other reason than fear.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Operated by brain power
You don't have to be a brain surgeon to know life is an uninterrupted sequence of guaranteed risks. Ben Carson, in Take the Risk takes his role as a neurosurgeon up a notch as he reveals how operating in sync with your grey matter will draw you toward diving into the risks that are worth taking and passing on the ones that take you on a downward spiral.

He acknowledges that everything is risky. Even to resolve to do nothing can be a hazardous choice. Tied to real life stories as concrete ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - could have been shorter, but still worth the read
ben carson, in case you haven't heard of him (i'd only vaguely heard of him), is a world renowned neurosurgeon. i mean, world-renowned, like, he's one of the top pediatric neurosurgeons in the world. and, he's probably the number one neuro-dude when it comes to separating conjoined twins, joined at the skull. oh, and he grew up in a poor, single mom, household, on the tough streets of detroit.

so it's fair to say the guy knows a thing or two about considering risk.

this book is a ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Are we really called to take risks?
Dr. Ben Carson helps his readers take a fresh and balanced approach to understanding risk - real risk, perceived risk, risks that we all take (and avoid) as part of normal everyday life. As enlightening as that was, I found myself being surprised as I discovered another message in the book. This surprise began as disappointment. Part way through the book I was disappointed because nearly all of the examples Dr. Carson used resulted in moving forward, following through with the action, taking the risk. I felt ... Read More

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and she will have a British Captain and Officers.   In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000 vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery  in 2006.   Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria.  The lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.

No cruise schedules have yet been announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008.
