Embrace The Struggle - Zig Ziglar  Anyone who has read any recent business  or self help books in the past know that Zig Ziglar needs no  introduction. He is a dynamic speaker and author who has influenced  millions with his books and presentations. This book is about his recent  struggle with. . .
his fall down a fight of stairs in March of 2007, and his memory loss  and brain damage as a result. This book tells of his attitude towards  his limitations and adaptations to his injury from his perspective and  also the effect on his family. He has had to adjust his presentations to  an interview format because of his memory loss, but that has not  stopped him from being positive and influencing others. as he says,  "Complaining about my situation won't change a thing. But, embracing the  struggle has the potential to change everything about the situation."
The  amazing thing about this story is how he has been able to maintain a  speaking schedule and a positive attitude through all this. Many others  who have gone through similar or even less debilitating injuries have  either given up or wallowed in self-pity.
Mr. Ziglar credits his  attitude mostly on relying on his Christian faith and relying on God to  meet his needs. He did not become a Christian until in his forties, and  some will be suprised to learn of his family struggles. He had  experienced the death of a daughter, and other family members struggle  with achoholism and other issues. He feels it is important to be  transparent to yourself first, and then to others. The subtitle is  Living Life on Life's Terms.
This book is divided into chapters  about physical struggles, financial struggles, marriage struggles, and  addiction. He has included stories of that others have shared with him  about their struggles, and how they have made it through. I would  recommend this book to anyone who is familiar with the author's other  books, and anyone who wants to maintain a positive attitude through  anything by embracing the struggle,  and relying on God to get them  through.
