Jumping to the Skies: Additional Lessons from Parkinson's Disease - Paperback
by Allan Hugh Cole (Author), Davis Phinney (Foreword by)
This book recounts the author's experience of living with young-onset Parkinson's disease. He writes with candor, vulnerability, and humor, revealing how Parkinson's has prompted his experiences of deeper understanding and a greater zest for life, as well as more wisdom, gratitude, and a mindful approach to living in the moment. He demonstrates how an incurable illness, despite its challenges, can be full of meaning, purpose, and happiness, and how sharing one's personal hardships may enrich one's own life as well as the lives of others.
