Heart Stories is about patients and the great pioneers who revolutionized their care. These stories, based on real people and actual events, tell how my patients benefited from the creativity, passion, and tenacity of the great surgical and medical pioneers whose discoveries saved them and transformed their lives and the lives of their families.
In this book, you will learn how heart attack mortality was reduced six-fold, why coronary artery disease and sudden cardiac death are preventable, how cardiac surgery saved thousands of children and adults suffering from congenital and valvular heart disease, and why severe heart failure is now a treatable condition. You will also appreciate the vital role played by teachers, mentors, and academic institutions. The progress made during the last half of the 20th century and early 21st century occurred because doctors and scientists of many races, nationalities, and religions collaborated to reduce death and suffering caused by heart and vascular disease.
The book begins with my first day as a doctor in 1968 and ends in 2015. During these nearly five decades, one patient after another benefits from new ways to treat their heart disease. You will meet these patients and the men and women who cared for them or innovated new therapies that helped them live better lives.

Neither rewards nor punishments can push someone to approach their true potential. In fact, rewards and punishments are significant obstacles to achieving one's potential. That is why our current, compliance-based school model--with its endless array of rewards and punishments--can't lead even some students to their full potential, let alone all students.
The only thing preventing us from having schools that will unleash the potential of every child is the entrenched institutionalization of the current model. We don't change because so few people believe we can change.
In Know Power, Know Responsibility, Kevin Miller reveals the way forward. He provides a comprehensive explanation of how our current factory model of school is limiting the individual and collective potential of entire generations of children. He then illustrates an alternative model in which children are granted power over--and take responsibility for--their own learning, growth, and development. He provides counterarguments to the reasons that will arise for why replacing the factory model can't be done. Finally, Kevin offers a clear path for any community that chooses to reinvent their school model to allow every child to unleash her or his full potential.
