Surviving Life

This book will restore your faith in life. It might even save it. Surviving Life: The Art of Resilience is not "e;based on a true story."e; It is a true story. More precisely, it is a memoir of dozens of Dr. Tom Schneider's true stories: from devilish schoolboy hijinks and death-defying heroics during his time in the military to medical miracles and a heated disagreement with his boss, the US surgeon general. In this updated version of Dr. Schneider's second book, including a bonus epilogue, discover the authenticity of Dr. Schneider's storytelling voice-the way he writes to you and only you-and the humorous wisdom only someone who has truly survived life can give you. In the final few chapters, after reading Dr. Schneider's astounding stories, when you think you there's no way he can provide you with more value, you'll learn the basics of human health and wellness-from someone who learned them the hard way. It's a wonder that Dr. Schneider lived to write this book. That he did is a testament to his fighting but humble spirit, as well as his desire to live up to the true meaning of his profession. The word "e;doctor"e; originally comes from the Latin docere. It does not mean "e;to heal"e; or "e;to cure."e; It means, instead, "e;to teach."e;Surviving Life will teach you something about life, death, and the human spirit on every single page.
