HERMAN WILLIAMS - MEDIA

Herman Williams was on the verge of living his ultimate dream of becoming an orthopedic surgeon to elite athletes -- when his life took a shocking detour. "Herman!" screamed his beautiful fiancé, Jeannie, as he lay lifeless on a gymnasium floor. How could a healthy 31-year-old collapse during an afternoon basketball game with his fellow medical residents? "No pulse!" they shouted. "He's not breathing." When the paramedics arrived, their defibrillator did not work! By the grace of God, Herman survived. But this life-changing event killed the dream that he had worked so hard to achieve. Depressed and disabled, Herman refused to give up. So, he reinvented himself. And thanks to the unwavering love and support of his family, his wife, Jeannie, and later their son, Cole, and lifelong friends and dedicated mentors, Herman created a deeply fulfilling life and career that helps more people than he ever could have imagined in his original dream. Now he's sharing his inspiring success formula to help you endure life's crushing blows, so that you find purpose, and cultivate peace and joy every day.
