Publisher's summary

Three-year-old boy loses hands in an accident and grows up to be renowned spinal surgeon! Man born without arms and legs perseveres to become internationally known motivational speaker, husband and father of four children! True unbelievable stories of courage.

Have you ever faced some obstacle you thought you couldn’t overcome? Or spent time feeling sorry for yourself? If so, then this is the book for you!

Facing Adversity-Stories of Courage and Inspiration is a collection of true stories, collected by best-selling author, Dr. Jeffrey L. Gurian, about people who have had to face unimaginable difficulties, and somehow found the strength to overcome them, leading happy, fruitful, and meaningful lives.

Collected over a period of 20 years, the stories are accompanied by additional psychological and Spiritually based commentary from Dr. Gurian, a 20-year plus Board member of The Assoc. for Spirituality and Psychotherapy, and former Clinical Prof. in Oral Medicine and Oro-Facial Pain.

He was inspired to write the book after facing and overcoming many of his own adversities, like conquering a severe stuttering problem that plagued him through his 20’s and beyond, and surviving both a "widowmaker" heart attack and a hospitalization with Covid Double Pneumonia.

During the time he was recovering from Covid, he wrote this inspirational book, essentially taking a negative and turning it into a positive, which is the essence of the book.

In this book you will read inspiring stories that will strengthen your spirit. Stories like:

· Destitute Man Writes Book For His Children and Becomes Millionaire Best Selling Author

· Woman Born With No Legs Perseveres To Become A Top Model

· Daughter of Two Homeless Drug Addicts With AIDS Wins Full Scholarship To Harvard

This is the third book in his "Happiness Series." The first "Healing Your Heart, By Changing Your Mind-A Spiritual and Humorous Approach To Achieving Happiness" achieved Best Seller status on Amazon.

The 2nd, "Fight The Fear-Overcoming Obstacles That Stand In Your Way" came out as a #1 Release in at least 5 categories, including "Medicine and Psychology", "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy," "Adult Children of Alcoholics", "Group Therapy", and Attention Deficit Disorder."

Facing Adversity-Stories of Courage and Inspiration will reshape the way you think about the obstacles facing you in your own life. The stories will help you connect to your own inner strength, and help you not only to survive but to thrive.
