Synopsis:

Laugh-out-loud one minute, hauntingly eloquent the next. Equal parts witty and inspiring, this mix of stories, autobiography, and leadership/life advice within this book challenges traditional notions of success.

The author, Dr. Irfan Ali, is a physician, CEO of several healthcare companies, the founder of a nonprofit focused on homelessness, and an artist and photographer. He draws on the full range of his background, including an immigrant experience that bridges East and West as he shares examples of failures that become milestone lessons. Some of the funniest stories are his own, including those of him as a young student, aspiring to be a medical resident in a new country while working the most humbling jobs imaginable.

Each chapter reads like an essay but relates directly to the other topics the book covers. And each chapter is not only a lesson in leadership but is visually enhanced by Dr. Ali’s striking original photography and art, offering readers both intellectual and artistic inspiration. Taken together, the ideas at the heart of Fractured but Fearless: The Art of Failing Forward create a guidebook for the aspiring leader, entrepreneur, or medical professional.
