Book Longtime Member Publishes a Book, Coping with Chronic Illness Successfully

TOTALLY DISABLED FIRST TIME WRITER SHARES HIS LESSONS TO COPE WITH LIFE’S CHALLENGES THROUGH PERSONAL AND HUMOROUS EXPERIENCES

You know how you see some of the most successful and happy people are dealing with the most unbelievable challenges and adversities working against them? Then you find yourself asking, “If this guy is successful, happy and fulfilled dealing with his challenges, how does he do it?”



Craig Mattice - we know him as NeuroNixed Craig - penned a “slap-you-in-the-face and wake up” inspiring book titled, Evaluate, Adapt, And Overcome: Accept No Limits In Life, making you ask, “What is his secret of coping with so many adversities, yet he is enjoying life to the fullest?” Craig recounts his story of coming to terms with total disability and outlines specific advice that helped him along the way. He is a survivor going from highly physically fit as prior law enforcement, specialty trained military and long distance runner, to dealing with doctors for almost 11 years before receiving a definitive, yet terminal diagnosis. He is also a survivor of a near-fatal brain stem stroke, yet he has continued to design his life by dealing with adversity through learning to evaluate, adapt and overcome.

Craig has coined a personal motto of Living Life on My Terms, No Excuses No Regrets. He has Para-sailed over 1,000 feet high, bungee jumped from a 140 foot tower by his ankles and even scaled the top final two tenths of a mile of a 10,000 foot mountain volcano in Hawaii using crutches, all since becoming disabled.

He generously shares his knowledge and experiences with others through his blog, on forums, the Internet and now writing this motivating book. Craig demonstrates we have the power to control our response to adversity. His time is short, but that has not stopped Craig from Living Life on His Terms. 

How is This Book Making an Impact?

This book is actually making a difference in people’s lives who read it and get the messages contain within the covers. The responses to his book have been unbelievable judging by the comments received such as, “I couldn't wait [to get the book] and then I couldn't put it down!” “I LOVE your book! Don't think I've ever read anything that quoted Yoda!” 'I am reading your book for the second time! The frustration I am feeling with the medical community is growing everyday.....is it seizures? MS? Parkinson's? None of the above? All of the above? Your book HAS really helped me." “I just about spewed my Lucky Charms all over my keyboard as I was reading your ‘Sharing My Final Wishes’ section of your book.” “Excellent words, Craig! …… - And by the way - I am loving your book! [I] Had a hard time putting it down!" "My mother and I have read your book and believe me it had a very deep impact on us. We were unaware of all of the "fun" you were having during your doctor evaluation period." Finally, “I was laughing so hard while reading your book on the beach, the people next to me asked me to quiet down.”

Craig's - Neuronixed Craig's - book is available on Amazon.com in paperback and Amazon.com Kindle Edition allowing electronic downloading.

I thank Koala and DocJohn for allowing me the opportunity to share my new book with you on the forums. I believe you will discover much of yourself within the covers of the book, in addition learn new lessons on perspective in life possibly creating a paradigm shift in your thinking. Please share you thoughts here and by posting a review on Amazon.com of your thoughts from experiencing this book. I believe it is very important people have a better understanding of what we must endure and tolerate each day of our lives.

Peace be with you all.

Hi Sally,

You are one of the main reasons I wanted to get it on Kindle as quickly as possible. The ease of downloading it, the cost is roughly 50% less than a paperback and on a Kindle you can adjust the font and other attributes making it easier to read.

I know of many members on the different medical forums in the same situation. Please let me know if it came out looking alright since I don't have a Kindle I have no way of knowing if I formatted it correctly and it uploaded correctly.

Thank you all for your congratulations and support. I hope you enjoy the book as many have so far.

I'm in the middle of reading it...and have dog eared many pages with insights I will return to...
It is a reminder of how to live life fully and truthfully, and not to waste time with the small stuff...

As we all know, stuff happens, and it can rock your world permanently. Being in the present is living life to the fullest.

Thanks, Craig, for putting it down on paper...

Craig,

I ordered several copiees of your book through my wife's e-bookstore (because shipping is minimal).

You may not realize it, but your book is also invaluable to those who are not impaired physically but are dealing with what they consider insurmountable problems in their lives. They just need perspective, and your book provides exactly that.

Kudos to you.

I am sure that your contribution will prove to be valuable to more people than you may realize.

I cannot thank you enough, and I am sure that the recipients of your book will feel the same way as soon as I send the books out.

Once again, KUDOS to YOU.

-Vic
