Reviews"In this engaging book, Allan Cole, who writes with the soul of a poet mixed with that of a minister, offers a hopeful, pragmatic approach to living with Parkinson's Disease. Ever the optimist, Allan faces up to 'The Beast,' acknowledging the downsides of living with the disorder while remaining upbeat and positive. Throughout this well-written work, we are offered up many clear-sighted observations on his successful approach to taking on Parkinson's." --Davis Phinney, Olympic cyclist and founder of the Davis Phinney Foundation for Parkinson's "Allan Cole has done it again with another masterpiece in Jumping to the Skies: Additional Lessons from Parkinson's Disease . This beautifully written book intertwines experience and empathy and shares a message of hope as we embrace the lessons offered by a neurodegenerative disease." --Michael S. Okun, MD, co-founder and executive director of Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases, University of Florida Health
SynopsisThis book recounts the author's experience of living with young-onset Parkinson's disease. He writes with candor, vulnerability, and humor, revealing how Parkinson's has prompted his experiences of deeper understanding and a greater zest for life, as well as more wisdom, gratitude, and a mindful approach to living in the moment. He demonstrates how an incurable illness, despite its challenges, can be full of meaning, purpose, and happiness, and how sharing one's personal hardships may enrich one's own life as well as the lives of others.
