A Reason for Living
THE WAY TO FULFILLMENT AGAINST GREAT ODDS
"A Reason for Living" is Laurent Grenier's extremely moving story of his triumph over a disabling injury as he found meaning in life despite everything. Part autobiography, part philosophical essay, "A Reason for Living" looks back on the author's past - his active, athletic youth abruptly interrupted by his diving accident, which left him a near quadriplegic and led to further hardships - and shows us the way to fulfillment against great odds through the courageous pursuit of wisdom and happiness.
"My diving accident was a misfortune that deprived me extensively of my life's meaning. It was also a chance to discover a deeper and truer reason for living. Why live? See what my answer is. I trust it will help you live a more meaningful and fulfilling life." L. G.
