What's Stopping You?: Living Successfully with DisabilityMark Nagler, author of Yes You Can!, is back with this informative and inspiring book about not only coping with disability, but overcoming it and living successfully as well.

Nagler also walks you through a detailed protection plan in case disability affects you in the future. This unique book gives you the tools to take control of your life, to cope with forces beyond your control that inhibit "normal" living, and to help others who are quite capable of achieving a successful life, but who just need some direction. And, with sample letters, case studies, and lists of important organizations and their addresses, this book gives you the resources to regain control of your life. |
