Mike got the electric chair and lived to tell about it – the electric wheelchair, that is. Mike is a motivational speaker and health educator with good news to tell. The good news is, we are all very capable people. We all need to recognize those capabilities and then learn to use them. Mike helps you do just that with candor, wit and humor. What he has to say will make you laugh. Some of it will make you cry. He will guarantee you this; it will make you “Think About It.” Check out his blog at http://iamnotdoneyet.blogspot.com and website http://www.patcom.com. You can click on the icon in the upper, right-hand corner of his website, learn about and get his new book "I Still Believe in Tomorrow."
Here is a review by a professional book reviewer of Mike's book:
Review of my book from a professional reviewer at a publishing company to the editor of her company:
Title: I Still Believe In Tomorrow:
Author: Mike Patrick
Date: 9/16/11
Type: Memoir
Reviewer: Anna K
Recommendation: Accept
In this moving story, Mike Patrick turns tragedy into triumph and the death of a dream into inspiration. Mike was a junior in high school when he became a quadriplegic after breaking his neck in the first football game. His life was changed forever because of a single instant in time, but by sharing his experience and spreading his positive attitude he has been able to affect the lives of many, and will continue to do so with this book.
This manuscript employs a very comfortable vernacular that is conversational but gripping. The narrative voice is extremely personal, and makes readers truly empathize with Mike’s situation as if they had an intimate relationship with him. The lessons act as a launching pad, not only instructing readers, but motivating them to apply them to their personal lives.
In the introduction, Mike mentioned his vision for the book to be marketed primarily towards members of the medical profession in hopes that they will treat the whole person instead of the illness. He wants the professionals working with patients, especially those with extensive problems, to recognize the emotional status, physical and social needs of every patient in the context of his/her life and environment. While I agree that every medical professional could benefit from reading this book, I believe that there is a more eager audience to be found elsewhere. I would suggest widening the marketing strategy to include (or even focus on) people dealing with serious health issues and those struggling with compromised mental and emotional health; this will allow the author to plant “seeds of capability” in those that can benefit from his inspirational story the most.
I frequently experienced chills while reading this book, and was personally touched by the message. I believe that Mike will find a receptive audience for this book, whether with members of the medical community, those who are struggling with personal difficulties, or even those reading for pleasure — everyone could benefit from hearing his story. I believe that this book would be an excellent addition to our company catalogue.
