Summary

While preparing to deploy with the US Army, Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed. After dying on the operating table twice, the surgeons saved his life, but told him he'd never walk again. Having no other option, Marcus started doing some brutally honest soul-searching, looking for the lesson to be learned from his injury. Once he started seeing his adversity as a gift instead of a curse, something miraculous began to happen....

The Gift of Adversity tells the inspiring story and lessons learned from overcoming pain and paralysis to find purpose. Based on Marcus Aurelius Anderson's life and TEDx talk, The Gift of Adversity gives functional and inspiring wisdom that can be applied in personal development, motivation, and achievement.

Added bonus content at the end.

Inspiring

I listened to this book while running a 60km ultra marathon, it took my mind off the challenge and I enjoyed all of it

But the reason I was doing that Ultra Marathon is because Marcus has been coaching me for the last 12 months and pushing me to overcome my own adversity!

Listen, enjoy and push yourself
