As a vocational rehab counselor and avid reader, I feel that it's part of my job description to find books that can help inspire me to try different things with my clients. Paul Berger is most certainly an inspiring guy. He suffered from a stroke at age 36, faced barriers in obtaining and maintaining employment, and took on life with a head-strong, can-do attitude.

I wish him the best of luck in his future pursuits.

As an occupational therapist I was very interested to read about Paul's journey. It was an easy to read story that well showcased the power of his will and determination. Unfortunately he and his wife's higher income made is dissimilar to other realistic situations. It did bring to light many of the obstacles that so many encounter with rehab and insurances. Keep up the fight!!!
