Experea’s SCI Book List

Nothing Is Impossible by Christopher Reeve

Christopher Reeve, an actor and famous spinal cord injury (SCI) advocate, challenges readers to push through limitations set before them and to discover their hidden strength. He emphasizes that everyone has the innate ability to overcome hardships in life, and we must use that to better the community and ourselves. Throughout his reflection, Reeve interweaves anecdotes that inspire and intrigue.

He explains to readers that the paralysis community has a choice—to live with self-doubt and fear or to channel inner strength and live with no inhibitions. While Reeve acknowledges in this captivating piece that nothing worthwhile comes easy, he guides readers to believe that the end result, living life with zeal and gratitude, is tremendously satisfying for anyone willing to persevere. The book, in itself, carries an inspiring message, but the messenger who delivers it is what truly makes it a remarkable read.
