When we want to take right action in the world, we must first become truly aware of what is going on—to understand what the problem or challenge really is. When we become aware of discomfort, we tend to jump to take whatever action we think will most quickly relieve our immediate suffering. Too often that action leads us to ever more suffering down the road. Effective action is always only possible following a period of acceptance and understanding of the nature of the challenge. Only when we have accepted reality as it is--life on life’s terms—can we then take effective action. (we call this the 3 A’s: Awareness, Acceptance, Action)

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
