Beating The Odds

"We could all use a little more resiliency: Beating The Odds is the perfect guide to getting it. (Amanda Lang, best-selling author of Power of Why and Beauty of Discomfort). This inspirational book by Chris MacLeod "shows us the remarkable strength of the human spirit" (Frank Stronach, author of The Magna Man, The Question of All Questions, and The Greed Factor). Born with a heart defect and diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 2, Chris MacLeod was expected to live only seven years. Now in his 50s, he knows what beating the odds is all about. Known for his "never better" greeting, Chris combines the miracles of modern medicine with the power of positive thinking to lead an active and dynamic life as a corporate lawyer and human rights advocate. Beating The Odds is Chris' motivational story arising from the lessons he's learned dealing with his health challenges and is a guide to assist others in surviving their own unique health challenges and crises. More than that, it can be a guide to living a full and resilient life. The 11 lessons document the strategy, tactics, and attitudes that have allowed Chris to continuously stay ahead of the ominous curve imposed by cystic fibrosis. Whether you're facing a health crisis or have a desire to life a more authentic life, "Whatever the odds you're working against, Chris will inspire you to overcome them" (Sheila Copps, former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and author of Nobody's Baby).
