GOING THE DISTANCE: 7 Steps To Personal Change, by Rick Hansen and Dr. Joan Laub, offers a unique blend of the personal experiences of someone who has suffered monumental change and someone who has actually done research on change itself.
"It is likely that few Canadians would fail to recognize Rick Hansen’s name. As the central figure of the Man in Motion World Tour, he became a symbol for human ability, rather than disability. His actions attracted the attention of millions, including Joan Laub, a psychologist interested in the study of the factors affecting personal change. Their collaboration has produced a book that is part autobiography and part motivational guide. In a world crowded with motivational texts, one might well be tempted to dismiss this book as yet one more pop guide. Yet the book is entertaining as autobiography, and better than many as a self-help guide. Hansen expresses himself candidly and engagingly, and his story is inspirational without being overdone." -Reviewed by William Glassman.
