Book Review: Climbing Higher by Montel Williams
Summary: 5 Stars
Climbing Higher This is a must read for anyone who has MS or has a friend or family member with MS. Montel Williams explains exactly how some of us feel and we don't know how to explain it to other people. There were parts in this book where I said out loud, "This is ME and I'm not alone in how I feel"!!! What a great feeling to know that you are not the only one who has these symptoms and exacerbations of this dreaded disease. It's fast reading and I've read it twice and the book is nearby to read it again. I'm also offering it to other people to read to try to understand my health problems.
I highly recommend this book!!!
Summary of Climbing Higher
Television icon, New York Times bestselling author-and powerful example of the strength to overcome obstacles-Montel Williams reveals his true story of struggle and triumph in this compelling memoir that proves not only a fascinating read, but an inspiration.In 1999, after almost twenty years of mysterious symptoms that he tried to ignore, Montel Williams, a decorated former Naval intelligence officer and Emmy(r) Award-winning talk show host, was finally diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Like others suffering from the devastating and often disabling disease, which attacks the central nervous system, Montel was first struck with denial, fear, depression, and anger. Next came the emotional trial of informing friends and family, and finally going public with the news. What followed was a fierce determination not to be beaten down by MS, and to live the most vital and productive life possible while becoming a dedicated spokesperson and fundraiser for the disease.
Montel Williams's Climbing Higher is a penetrating and insightful look at a remarkable man, his extraordinary career, and the illuminating life that graced him with strong values, courage, and wisdom. Now he shares that wisdom in this uplifting book on the divergent roads a life can take, and recounts his own resourceful approach to the challenges he has faced. Deeply personal, Climbing Higher is as straight-forward, honest, inspiring, and motivating as its author.
