Description
by Paul Stuart Wichansky (Author), Robert M. Disogra (Foreword by)
BOOK FORMAT: Hardcover with black-and-white photo section.
READERS: For parents and educators of special needs kids as well as teens and young adults. This is a debut self-help book from a leading motivational speaker and disability advocate whose story can inspire us to dream, achieve, and succeed.
Have you wondered why dreams seem to be running away from you and into the arms of someone else? An illness, injury, disability, divorce. or other traumatic experience can force us to re-evaluate our future as we walk an uncertain path, and during those times, we often find ourselves asking, "Why me?" How do we learn to overcome the darkness which is usually accompanied by feelings of fear, doubt, and anxiety?
Meet Dr. Paul Wichansky who has cerebral palsy and a hearing loss. Believing that our challenges can be our greatest gifts, he has worked hard to transform obstacles into opportunities for growth and shows to others, by example, how they can also do the same. Dr. Paul has confidently risen above adversity but also achieved beyond what others believed he could do.
Each chapter focuses on a principle of self-improvement, such as a positive attitude, support group, self-esteem, perseverance, resilience, and empathy, which he embeds within a captivating narrative. For instance, the chapter on positive attitude recalls those moments of optimism and laughter that have helped him reject the effects of his disabilities by developing complete confidence in his abilities. Though written from a first-person point-of-view, he switches to the second-person narrative near the end of each chapter to offer readers strategies to adopt that guiding principle into their lives.
A master storyteller who shares anecdotes that combine character, optimism, and heart, he shows his readers, by example, how to face adversity and become the Heroes we all know they can be. Only then can we become the epic version of ourselves.
Let this book be a worthy addition to your library. For shining your light is spreading your love.
