About The Book

Are your assumptions about success showing results in your life? We often look at success as a financial pinnacle — a mountaintop where we’re in command and respected. The truth is that if your personal life, core values, and self-knowledge aren’t a part of the equation, all the success in the world won’t do much for you. It will all come crashing down.

Is Everyone Smiling But You? explores the true meaning of success — how to organize your life to draw success to you, and also, how to create a perfect day that makes success sustainable while opening the floodgates to exponential growth. With Dr. Rice’s well-rounded view of the big picture, you’ll stop spinning your wheels. Ultimately, a full investment in yourself is an investment in your future. This book shows you how, step by step.

Key topics discussed in the book include:
• How to find your happy place
• Recognizing the big picture vision for yourself and making it happen every day
• Key insights into the power of mentorship
• A personal core values wakeup call to steer you in the right direction
• Increasing your value through personal investment

Dr. Rice is the founder of igniteDDS, the nation's largest student and new dentist community. Influencing young dentists on a larger scale was a dream come true for him, but as you’ll see, it didn’t come easy, but his discoveries inspired a method everyone can use. He learned from the school of hard knocks and wrote this book so that you won’t have to.

Is Everyone Smiling But You? inspires you to hone an understanding of yourself, where you want to be, who can help you along the way, and ultimately, it guides you to your success story. Infused with wit and character, you’ll learn from Dr. Rice’s journey while rewriting your own future along the way. The exercises that accompany each chapter help guide you to your aha moment — that instance when you realize what your vision for yourself truly is, and exactly how to get there.

“Good leaders provide direction, purpose, and reason for a group or organization to follow. Great leaders do this with empathy — sharing their knowledge, wisdom, and experience and serving to inspire those around them. I've known David Rice for more than a decade and it's amazing to see his passion for dentistry, his ability to inspire others, and his drive for professional growth now fueling his personal dreams. This book distills a philosophy I've seen him live by, and I hope it can inspire you to make the changes you need to realize your personal dreams, however they may evolve.”

“David Rice’s book came into my life at a time when I needed the right wakeup call! As a young leader, I’ve devoted so much of my time, energy, and life toward making sure that I do the right thing for my team and career, so much so that I forgot about myself. The introduction alone threw me into a spiral of asking myself, What does my perfect day look like? At the time of writing this, I still don’t have an answer. However, I’ve been super in - tune with the several comfortably uncomfortable moments that are helping me shape my perfect day and ultimately the perfect vision.

“Since I’ve met him, David has been an aspiring success story. Whether you’ve met him or not, the thought provoking questions in this book will help you design your own blueprint. Good luck!”

“David has the unique ability to link hard-to-understand concepts, but get you to grasp them almost instantly. His ability to help young professionals connect the dots toward business ownership throughout the years is clearly demonstrated in this book. I’m excited to see how the future of dentistry and beyond embraces these pages and I hope that they start applying it to their everyday lives and in their pursuit of business ownership. In the end the reader will have a clear strategy for how to get the things done that are most important to them.”

“From the very start, David’s honest words are compelling and thought-provoking. His own experiences, success, and failure are relatable, and his wisdom is incredibly powerful. The strategies in this book are essential for any business owner trying to define success and happiness for themselves, especially as they navigate the evolving postpandemic world.”
