How to Conquer the World With One Hand.And an Attitude (Second Edition)

This is the story of young man's recovery from a devastating stroke, taking the reader on a journey far beyond the typical "survivor" story, into the depths of a young man’s feelings, and across ten years of physical and emotional challenges living with disabilities.

This is a true story that reads like an action novel. The second edition has a new foreword by best-selling author Julian Whitaker, M.D., as well as more of Paul's adventures, and a new section on useful resources requested by readers of the first edition.

Paul E. Berger survived a stroke caused by a ruptured aneurysm whe he was 36. In the more than 10 years since, he has focused his positive energies on setting goals and following his dreams.

He has been featured on local NBC-4 news, and in the nationally syndicated PBS TV show Healthweek's series, "Overcoming the Odds." Among his many speaking engagements, he delivered commencement addresses to the Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy Departments graduation programs at the University of New Hampshire, Durham.
