Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Foreword by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Afflicted with polio from a young age, Arun Patel’s life as a boy is full of challenges, both physical and mental. With the influence of his demanding father and loving mother, Arun manages to survive and thrive despite the disability that would otherwise define his life.

By meeting his father’s pressure to excel head-on, he succeeds in school and finds his way to London for an accountancy profession. When his family follows, after being forcefully expelled from Uganda, he again rises to the occasion and takes over as breadwinner for his entire family. With his ability to focus on the positive and reframe life’s difficulties as “opportunities disguised as challenges,” he goes on to take advantage of every chance for an extraordinary life.

In Out of My Way, Polio! Arun Patel navigates an unusual journey certain to intrigue anyone who wonders about or faces life with physical handicaps. Ultimately founding two charities for the benefit of children with polio as well as other underprivileged children, Arun finds ways to give back while sharing his story of positivity, hope, and struggle.
Arun has imbibed Sadhguru’s wisdom to guide him for the remainder of his life’s journey : “Make sure that your work touches the lives of others, else just sit and meditate.” He has no plans to just sit and meditate.

It is Arun’s sincere hope and desire that his life’s stories and experiences will inspire all readers, not just the disabled or the professionals or the meditators, and help at least some of them to overcome their challenges.

Arun has two grown up sons and he currently lives in Ilford, Essex, UK with his wife Ranjan , and his mother.
