The Unstoppable Optimist
Here is a tale of rebirth. A brilliant journalist, writer, chess puzzle creator and avid sportsman - Thierry Ott's world came crashing down in 1994 when he was struck with aphasia. After undergoing brain cancer surgery, he awoke hemiplegic. The wordsmith suddenly found himself utterly speechless. The man who could no longer speak or even recall his three daughters' names kept his joie de vivre and lust for life alive. He also retained his passion for walking, clocking up 200 kilometers on foot. Six years post-surgery, he discovered a new calling - drawing and sketching. This is the awe-inspiring celebration of human resilience triumphing over adversity.
