Rainer Zitelmann’s book explores how people with disabilities accomplish the extraordinary in life and set milestones that seem almost impossible even to most people without disabilities. Zitelmann profiles 20 unique individuals, all of whom have achieved far more than the average, often almost the superhuman, even though their disabilities supposedly endowed them with few opportunities and made them, in many respects, dependent on the people around them.
The book reveals the secrets of success and the power of the mind for everyone. We learn what makes a person great: it is the ability to transform one’s weaknesses into strengths and overcome supposed limitations.
As Saliya Kahawatte, the blind man whose life story inspired the film My Blind Date with Life, writes in the foreword: “If you like, you can consider this book a treasure trove of human diamonds. We all know that every rare gem was once an ordinary piece of coal that withstood tremendous pressure over a long period of time, becoming ever harder and purer, and only achieving its unique brilliance through precise cutting and polishing. It’s time to go diamond prospecting!”
