Osteogenesis Imperfecta - Ser distinto no es tan raro / Being Different Isn't So Strange

Rate this book
Un testimonio de superación personal sobre cómo tomarse la vida, la enfermedad y a uno mismo con humor.

«Si no me tomara todo lo que me ocurre y me ha ocurrido con humor, habría muerto (de asco) hace años».

Hay veces en una vida en las que el mundo se detiene. Para los padres de Felipe Mateos, el mundo se detuvo el día en que nació. Porque Felipe había nacido con osteogénesis imperfecta. O, como se conoce la enfermedad de los huesos de cristal. Ese día, sí, quizás el mundo se detuvo. Pero, pese al desconocimiento y a las incontables fracturas, ha seguido girando.

Felipe Mateos nos demuestra en este libro que, a través del humor y el amor (dos cosas que no están tan alejadas como parece), podemos sacar fortaleza de nuestras debilidades. Porque un chiste, como nosotros mismos, a veces, tiene más fuerza de la que podemos sospechar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A story of personal growth about how to take on life, illness and the self with a healthy dose of humor.

“If I didn’t have a sense of humor about everything that’s happened to me, I would have died (of disgust) years ago.”

There are times in life when the world stops. For the parents of Felipe Mateos, the day he was born was one of those times. Felipe was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, better known as brittle bone disease. But although the world may have stopped that day, it has kept turning, despite an uncertain prognosis and countless fractures.

In this book, Felipe Mateos demonstrates that, with love and humor (which aren’t as different as they may seem), our weaknesses can be a source of strength. Because humor, like us, can be more powerful than we ever suspected.
