This book tells the story of finding the Path, achieving the Crystal Dream, and discovering True Love—through the example of a young ambitious doctor who moved to Moscow from Samarkand right on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Though in this book, the Soviet Union has nothing to do with it… It’s about the twists of fate that, by a thorny and roundabout route, led the future Nobel Prize laureate to where they led him. A chief doctor isn’t a position. A chief doctor isn’t destiny. A chief doctor is a diagnosis.
