“Thumbs Up!: Staying Positive with Parkinson’s Disease” by Kevin M. Peyton <\/p>\n
In Thumbs Up!: Staying Positive with Parkinsons Disease (ISBN 146377947X), Kevin M. Peyton gives an easy-to-read account of how his positive outlook has allowed him to live with Parkinsons disease for nearly 20 years. His account is not a celebrity memoir or a biography of a wealthy patient recording a litany of experimental treatments. Rather, it is the voice of a regular guy with an irregular disease who credits his longevity to staying optimistic, no matter what the circumstances. <\/p>\n
Peyton hopes his book will inspire others with Parkinsons disease as well as those with other debilitating diseases. He believes it will help individuals who have loved ones affected by chronic diseases understand what they are experiencing. Despite being a book about hospitalization, tragic diagnoses and chronic pain management, Peytons upbeat attitude never falters. It is a rare book about illness that will leave readers with a smile on their faces and even a few laughs along the way. <\/p>\n
The author doesnt have a medical license, a psychology degree, wealth or fame. What he does offer is some inspirational tips to overcoming what countless so-called experts have otherwise written off as a chronic, debilitating condition. Despite the many negative impacts the neurological illness has on his life, he does his best to focus on the positive every day. As he notes in his book, one of the philosophies he has learned in his life is a bit of wisdom he picked up from entertainer Michael J. Fox who also faces life with Parkinsons disease. Reportedly, the actor tells his children every day, Choose to have a great day, an adage that Peyton has worked into his daily life with his sons. <\/p>\n
If you practice your faith, you always have hope. If you can identify the people that are inspirational to you, it will help you stay positive because you watch and learn from some of their experiences, says Peyton. Finally, if you can find a way to laugh, especially at yourself, then a great deal of stress is released. <\/p>\n
Thumbs Up! is a moving book and guide to facing the adversity of illness with bravery and humor. <\/p>\n
Thumbs Up!: Staying Positive with Parkinsons Disease is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels. <\/p>\n
