Publisher Description
I would never have imagined I would dance on the highest mountain tops of Ireland when I was given my diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease back in 2001. Nor that I would live in a Caribbean rain forest for four years and learn how to farm. I changed my life to meet the challenges of living with my disease. No script but just a fierce determination to make the most of my life and every opportunity that came my way.
This is my personal account of the journey that began 24 years ago. A roller coaster ride full of incident and accidents; friends and foes; doubts and certainties; triumphs and tragedy.
Contains two multi-media presentations
Customer Reviews
An inspiring account of the author’s journey after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
Instead of succumbing to the bleak prognosis, Robin chose the path of radical acceptance by embracing his life to the full. Immersing himself in a Taoist perspective his path took him from Trinidad to Ireland to Germany via a challenging time back in the UK, confronting long standing difficulties with his father.
Interspersed with accounts of his life in each of these countries, Robin shares his struggles with his personal life and deteriorating health.
This book contains elements of applied personal philosophy, travelogue along with the impact of Parkinson’s disease and subsequent medical interventions.
The underlying thread is in standing against adversity and ability to be flexible. An inspiration for everyone. Highly recommended.
