I love how the author was able to use a common childhood tale to help further show his motivation. I'd love to see how he learned to walk again!

It's my first time hearing about the word "quadriplegic." It looks like a psychological memoir about suffering from this type of disorder after an accident. I'm glad to know that the author's sons are still able to spend time with their father. I'm happy to read this review.

Its good that the book inspires not only people who are in the same situation but anyone who is facing difficulty. The theme of courage gotten from the writer's actions is also encouraging.

Latest Review: Natural Relief for Anxiety and Stress by Gustavo Kinrys, MD

Post by Oceegee Chika Oroke »

The situation is pathetic; it is very very sad that Mike has to experience all these challenges: from the risk of not being able to walk again to his job loss and then family crisis. This can be too much to bear at a time. However, I would like to know how his condition relates to that story of the little engine.

This book seems to be really motivational. I'm delighted the author made the decision to share his experience since I know many people would benefit from witnessing someone do the seemingly unthinkable. Thank you for the #BOTD!

Life is filled with ups and downs. The writer didn't have an all-rosy life but what matters was that his story inspired the reader in the end. Thanks for sharing.

This is really an inspirational piece. Mike's positive attitude to life is amazing, and this contributed immensely to his recovery and even going on to assist others like Mark. I admire the support he enjoyed. It's also good to know this boo was professionally edited.
