From the Publisher
Many inspirational books take you through the person's crisis period. This book is different. It shows how much a person can achieve in the years after, and what life is really like when you have a severe disability.
Positive Power Publishing is dedicated to inspiring people with disabilities to live a full life and to show the world that having a disability doesn't mean giving up. Paul Berger's compelling story as told in "How to Conquer the World With One Hand...And an Attitude, Second Edition," is an example of the can-do attitude and abilities that many disabled people offer.
Paul's stunning accomplishments go beyond writing. He shows how he has become a pro at public speaking, overcoming his severe speech problem, aphasia, to inspire audiences large and small, many of whom had little or no knowledge or exposure to strokes or stroke survivors before meeting Paul or reading his book.
