Dr. Gregory M. Lee’s memoir, My Good Life, has been honored with the Literary Titan Gold Book Award, recognizing a powerful and deeply personal work that reflects resilience, determination, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
In My Good Life, Dr. Lee shares an extraordinary life journey that begins in poverty on Chicago’s South Side and unfolds across decades of personal, academic, and professional achievement. Born in 1949 as the oldest of eight siblings, he overcame bullying, racial tension, loss, and hardship to build a life defined by discipline, service, and perseverance. His path led him to the United States Air Force, where he rose from airman basic to lieutenant colonel, earned multiple advanced degrees, and contributed to highly technical military systems during a distinguished 21-year career.
The memoir also chronicles Dr. Lee’s remarkable pursuit of excellence beyond military service. While stationed in Europe, he completed four marathons in Berlin, Copenhagen, and Rotterdam. After retiring from the Air Force, he continued to break new ground by architecting the San Antonio Independent School District’s first wide area network, later earning a Ph.D. in Information Technology and serving for nearly two decades as an adjunct professor.
At the emotional heart of My Good Life is the life-altering medical crisis that nearly ended it all. After surviving a ruptured aorta against overwhelming odds, Dr. Lee was moved to reflect on his life’s triumphs, losses, setbacks, and hard-earned wisdom. Writing the memoir became both a personal mission and a legacy project for his children and grandchildren. In sharing his story candidly, he offers readers an inspiring testament to what is possible through grit, faith, and an unwillingness to give up.
Literary Titan praised the memoir for its sincerity, honesty, and emotional force, highlighting Dr. Lee’s ability to write with candor about adversity, family loss, personal failures, and the determination that carried him through each chapter of life. The review describes My Good Life as a heartfelt and grounded memoir that will resonate with readers interested in stories of resilience, military life, education, and the long process of building a meaningful life piece by piece.
