What do you learn when your brain goes pop? Chris Licht had always been ambitious. When he was only nine
years old, he tracked down an NBC correspondent while on
vacation to solicit advice for a career in television. At
eleven, he began filming himself as he delivered the news.
And by the time he was thirty-five, he landed his dream job:
a fast-paced, demanding spot at the helm of MSNBC’s Morning
Joe—one of the most popular shows on cable TV. He had become
a real-life Jerry Maguire: hard-charging, obsessively
competitive, and willing to sacrifice anything to get it
done. He felt invincible. Then one day Chris heard a pop in
his head, followed by a whoosh of blood and crippling pain.
Doctors at the ER said he had suffered a near-deadly brain
hemorrhage. Chris’s life had almost been cut short, and he
had eight long days in a hospital bed to think about it. What I Learned When I Almost Died tells the story of what
happened next.
