Nothing Is Impossible: Nothing Is Impossible: Reflections on a New Life -- Chris

Christopher Reeve has mastered the art of turning the impossible into the inevitable. In these candid reflections, Reeve shows that we are all capable of overcoming seemingly insurmountable hardships. He teaches us that for able-bodied people, paralysis is a choice--a choice to live with self-doubt and a fear of taking risks--and that it is not an acceptable one. Reeve knows from experience that the work of conquering inner space is hard and that it requires some suffering--after all, nothing worth having is easy to attain. He asks challenging questions about why it seems so difficult--if not impossible--for us to work together as a society. <i>Nothing Is Impossible</i> reminds us that life is not to be taken for granted but to be lived fully with zeal, curiosity, and gratitude.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Christopher Reeve<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ballantine Books<br><b>Published:</b> 04/27/2004<br><b>Pages:</b> 224<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.24lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.18h x 4.08w x 0.66d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780345470737<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Christopher Reeve</b> has established a reputation as one of the country's leading actors, and since he was paralyzed in an equestrian competition in 1995, he has put a human face on spinal cord injury.
