"Having known Dr. Agress as a Radiology colleague throughout his professional clinical and teaching career and now in his retirement, I was thrilled to read Next Years Best Years. As in all of Harry's endeavors, this book is so well written and thoughtful. The contents are well organized, introspective and easy to both grasp and relate to at any point in one's career. I could only smile as the enthusiastic Harry Agress that I know comes through in each chapter with detailed reflection and uplifting consideration."
