unrealistic ro say the least

While I can relate to the stages described in losing vision gradually and the loan that goes along with this, the rest is useless. this author makes it seem as if ones self worth is defined by being able to have a career when this is not E W a list for most blind people. most of us do not have resources to travel to seminars, gurus , etc. I have taken up painting as well since losing my vision but unlike this author I have not been able to go to multiple art c'asses. basically this book just alternated between boredom and anger.
