Hi! I’m looking for a book like “Becoming Dr. Q: my journey from farm worker to brain surgeon”, by Dr. Alfredo Quinones or “Elon Musk”, by Isaac Walterson (I have read Walterson’s other biographies as well).
Becoming Dr. Q is an autobiography that tells Dr. Q’s first hand account of his difficult journey from being a poor teacher in Mexico to becoming a top neurosurgeon in the United States who has saved thousands of people. It has inspired me a lot. I’ve been going through some hard times and I was looking for another book that could inspire me in a similar way. I love reading about people’s heroic and difficult journeys where they sacrifice everything and leave everything behind in the journey to a better life.
Elon Musk’s biography by Isaac Walterson has also inspired me a great deal. Despite what you think about him, his life and achievements are extraordinary. It tells the story of how Elon Musk escaped South Africa and eventually built an empire of technology companies.
If anyone knows any books that they could recommend I would appreciate it.

I loved Robert Massie’s biography of Catherine the Great (a minor German princess who became Empress of Russia).
Master Slave Husband Wife by Ilyon Woo is a true story of two slaves (a husband and wife) who disguised themselves as an elderly white man and his slave to escape to freedom. Seems like it might be up your alley?
