Great

My wife and I had the chance to listen to and meet Art Berg in the mid 90's. Art was a fantastic speaker and writer. We enjoyed hearing about his experiences and how he delt with his circumstances in life. We were saddened to hear of his death. I had orginally bought this book for my wife when it first came out. She lent it to a friend who also passed away and did not pursue its return. We are glad to have this back in our collection and recommend all of his books to anyone who needs to be uplifted in Spirit and Mind when dealing with adversities in life. Bill Buxton

This book made me bawl my eyes out...

but that isn't to say I am not glad I read it. Art's story is a very depressing one. He was engaged to be married and a terrible car accident left him paralyzed from the chest down. The book is all about the lessons he learned in recovery, but I recommend this book strongly because it challenges your belief that you can be happy despite negative circumstances. We all say we believe that because it sounds good. This book challenges you to ask the question, could I be quadriplegic and happy? Art's story is timely and needed for a culture that has become so steeped in buy-this-to-be-happy consumerism. I live better for having read this book. And I believe the answer is yes, you can be happy despite what life deals you. Art is genuine, and you will never forget his example after reading this. The only reason I didn't give it a fifth star was because I didn't care for the poems at the end of each chapter--a little sentimental for me.

It's as if he's there with you.

I love the way Art Berg writes. It's as if he's there with you, talking to you. He is an inspiration to anyone who listens to his message. The world lost a great man when he passed away.

Funny, uplifting, inspirational and yet deeply moving.

When I bought the audio version I laughed so hard I almost crashed the car ... so I was intrigued to see how much the book expanded on the events related on the cassette. It is wonderful. In addition to Art's perspective, his wife also contributes significant sections making it a deeper more well rounded experience (not that there was anything wrong with the talk tape!). I've laughed and cried with this book ... and love it so much I've given it to more people than any other book. You don't need to be a member of the LDS church to appreciate this - anyone with a family will love it and identify with it.
