Help others from this captivating book,
By Helen Corey (Indianapolis, Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Stroke of Genius: Messages of Hope and Healing From a Thriving Stroke Survivor (Hardcover)
This book is dynamic and takes you into the mind of a stroke victim. Many times stroke victims cannot relay what they are feeling, but Sandy Simon's been there and tells you what he has experienced and of his constant therapy. On a lecture tour, I look for him to be on The Opra Winfrey show. He has a gift and knows how to add humor to any situation. This book is a MUST reading. It's captivating as you learn Sandy's struggles and perserverance of going on with life. Every person and parish should have this book so they can relay the message to their parishioners. His spirituality comes across easily. One never knows when they can be a care-giver and learn how to cope with any situation.

This review is from: A Stroke of Genius: Messages of Hope and Healing From a Thriving Stroke Survivor (Hardcover)
What a great story! And true. I was in awe. Easy to read and inspiring. Great for the general public, but, as a student of Buddhism and meditation, I found it especially intriguing.
