Can a Life-threatening Disease Change Your Life for the Better?

FORT WAYNE, Ind. - May 27, 2021 - PRLog -- With COVID-19 and its vaccinations still featured in trending stories, medical news continues to grab headlines. But in the face of all the tragedy, accentuated by acrimonious politics and a world largely divided over health matters, many have been asking: Is serious illness only a curse (to both the victim and society), or can it ever have a silver lining? Enter Barry Shore.

A rare disease turned Barry Shore's world upside down. Within a short time, Barry went from being a successful and healthy entrepreneur to a quadriplegic. Doctors said he would never walk again.

However, Barry ultimately emerged from his medical ordeal able to walk (with a walking stick) and a devoted long-distance swimmer (with the help of flotation devices). It's true, Barry is not physically today what he was before his disease, but mentally he's stronger than ever. So much so, that he now refers to himself as "The Ambassador of Joy." In that capacity, Barry has touched literally millions of people through his podcasts, web resources, and KEEP SMILING cards. His new book, The Joy of Living: How to Slay Stress and Be Happy, helps readers tap into Barry's engaging strategies.

Don't miss an opportunity to "get acquainted" with Barry and harness, in your own life, some of his secrets for joy and happiness.
