Book Review / The Little Big Things by Henry Fraser

The memoir of the year by Henry Fraser, motivational speaker and mouth artist with a foreword by J.K. Rowling.
 
Being challenged in life is inevitable, but being defeated is optional...

Henry Fraser was 17 years old when a tragic accident severed his spinal cord. Paralysed from the shoulders down, he has conquered unimaginable difficulty to embrace life and a new way of living. Through challenging adversity, he has found the opportunity to grow and inspire others.

This book combines his wisdom and insight into finding the gifts in life's challenges, and will resonate with anyone facing an obstacle, no matter how big or small. It includes Henry's thoughts on how to look at the right things and avoid the wrong, finding progress in whatever you do, and acknowledging and accepting the darkness when it comes. Right at the heart of Henry's inspiring philosophy is his belief that every day is a good day.

MY REVIEW

What a remarkable story and a remarkable person.  From an accident that led to Henry becoming paralysed, we follow Henry's story from that fateful day, through his time in recovery at hospital learning to come to terms with his new diagnosis and following as he learns to live with this and challenges himself to always do better.

A truly inspirational story that shows that even though you may be faced with one of the worst circumstances in your lives, you can still overcome them or learn to live with them and enjoy your life.  Don't give up just because something bad has happened to you!
