How to Conquer the World With One Hand...And an Attitude (Second Edition)

Finally a great book on kids that really works.

My father is much older than Paul when he suffered his stroke in December of 2000. My father's stroke was very severe and has left him totally paralyzed on his right side and unable to speak or effectively communicate in any manner, which is the same side and conditions that Paul suffered. This book gave me hope that some day my 78-yr. old father may be able to communicate on some level. All speech therapy has been stopped for my father, but after reading this book and seeing what 8 years of therapy has done for Paul, my family is looking into our options once again. I can think of nearly nothing worse than being able to understand most of what is being said around you and not being able to communicate back. People with aphasia are essentially trapped within their own body. Thanks, Paul for having the courage to move forward with your life and to tell your story. It truly gave me hope!!

Very easy read. It's a must read for anyone (or family members) who are fighting a stroke. He words things so well. I have found myself highlighting a lot of sentences that I totally relate to. I haven't finished it yet, but I definitely will.

This book helped me deal with a family member's stroke. I appreciated how the author shared his thoughts and frustrations. The latter half of the book became repetitive, though. The book is good, but it needs some polishing.

I found the book to contain amazing detail during the early time in the hospital. Who is remembering it all?It was interesting and helpful.review from Amy Finger Ziegler, stroke survivor, author of Different Strokes for Different Folks.

As a newly living life one armed after a stroke, I found this book inspirational. While the author have as far to come back from as I do, what he accomplishes can't be discounted.

Just started to read the book. My fiance had a stroke in January so very, very interesting and intriguing. Actually, cannot put the book down. Love it!

no new info i have been using one hand for 27 years and this book had no new ideas.

Inspirational

Simply AMAZING and inspiring ... it gives my fiancé and I hope ... my fiancé suffered a severe ischemic stroke resulting in Weakness in his body and severe aphasia.
