What You See When You Can't See

How Blindness Helped One Woman Discover the True Beauty of Life

By: Zena Cooper

Narrated by: MARSHALL JANINE COOPER

A deeply touching and uplifting view of the world through different eyes, and a roadmap to finding bliss in the simplest of things. Zena Cooper lives a full life, in which she uses her senses to examine and explore the world around her. She does all that without one thing many of us take for granted: sight. Born with Marfan syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that means she is almost completely blind, Zena kept the extent of her condition hidden from the world for four decades. That was until Munch - a guide dog full of personality - took up residence in her life and, almost overnight, a disability she had been hiding for years was suddenly clear for all to see. What You See When You Can't See follows Zena's journey in accepting her limitations. A qualified integrative counsellor, she shares her unique model to reset negative thought patterns, along with tools to help anyone reshape their narrative. Zena asks her listeners to find beauty in their own adversity. With Munch at the heart of her experience, this audiobook explores the possibility of an amplified life, no matter your circumstances.

A great book to help you get out

This is a great book to help you get out of yourself! I listened to this book from beginning to end in one day because I enjoyed it! Here is someone who hides their disability from the world. While doing this she did a lot of silly things which would have destroyed most people because it would have been embarrassing! The author recounts many stories about these acts throughout the book! This book is not what you think, which is about another blind woman. It’s about a woman who lived an incredible life and then wrote about it to help the rest of the world. When they finally admitted they needed help they found a dog named Munch who changed her life. Together they found their way never giving up on what they truly wanted to do in life!
The author went on to have children. She could write another book just on that alone! That would probably make a really good book!
I get from this book that I'm not living the life I could be living when compared to this author in hiding instead of stepping out there and living life. This is probably why I've read two books about blind women. I really need to get off my rear-end and do what I'm here to do in this lifetime.
I encourage people to read this book because it will make you find your voice and your life purpose!
