Opis

Sir William Osler (1849 - 1919) was a Canadian physician and helped found Johns Hopkins Hospital. He has been called the "Father of Modern Medicine." This book is his explanation of how he achieved so much in his life and his exhortation for everyone who reads it to do the same. A Way of Life has been introducing people to his philosophy of successful living by way of "day tight compartments" since he first delivered the talk at Yale that spring Sunday afternoon in 1913. In the intervening years, Osler's message remains as powerful and timely as ever, yet his examples can get in the way. Not because they are necessarily dated, but because we don't study mythology, poetry, religion or myriad other subjects in the way they did in his day. In this edition, an attempt has been made to remedy this. The text is unaltered from the original but has been exhaustively researched and annotated in hopes that the examples don't get in the way of the message so that readers of today can still gain from Osler's message.
