Description
Waking: A Memoir of Trauma and Transcendence by Matthew Sanford is a deeply personal account of one man's journey from near-death to a life of purpose. In 2008, Matt Sanford's world was forever changed when his family's car skidded off an overpass, killing his father and sister, and leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. As he navigates the complexities of his new reality, Sanford finds solace in yoga and begins to rebuild his life from the ground up. With unflinching honesty, he shares his experiences at the Mayo Clinic and his journey towards healing, revealing a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. This powerful memoir offers a unique perspective on the human experience, one that is both agonizingly personal and profoundly philosophical. By sharing his story, Sanford delivers a message about the endurance of the human spirit and the importance of finding meaning in the face of adversity.
