Getting There profiles innovators and accomplished entrepreneurs who faced significant adversity on their long road to success. Dr. Atala is profiled in the first chapter since his story of beginning with a research project, that was initially rejected, is amazing. Additional chapters feature those who started with practically nothing, including a few who escaped adversity from their native countries. The particulars of their lives and livelihood are all very different, with each chapter showing that when life delivers challenges, choices need to be made about bouncing back.
