This is one of the most heart warming and inspirational things I have ever read! Natasja last
I've attended many of Mark's talks and heard parts of this story many times seeing the entire story written in this book put the whole thing in a new light.
There are so many insights in this book that I can't mention them all here I suggest that this book is one that you should read several times. It's one of those books that should be read with a highlighter pen in hand.
But there's also a deeper message here.
And that message, I believe comes in two parts.
Firstly, a negative past isn't necessarily a prescription for a negative future.
I'm certain the strength he gained in surviving his early years gave him the ability to overcome his illness later in life. After all, the strongest steel is forged in the hottest fire.
Secondly, and in my sincere opinion what this book is really about, is the importance of strong belief and vision.
The American philosopher William James said
"Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact"
And I for one am extremely grateful that the world still has Mark Baker in it.
