"This is the wise, deeply moving, and warmly humorous account of Arnold Beisser's search for a new life and meaning as he comes to terms with his disability (paralyzed) and then transcends it .. to practice psychiatry, to fall in love, truly soar without wings. His spirit and determination to fight for happiness will inspire any reader faced with unbearable loss. Dr. Beisser shows us why the contrast between winner and loser, athlete and cripple, is in our minds much more than our bodies." Book was recommended to me by a friend. Excellent, moving and inspiring book.
