How do you stay positive when life delivers the unthinkable? For David Craig, this isn't a hypothetical question. At just twenty years old, his life took an unexpected turn when what he dismissed as bronchitis turned out to be heart failure.
Thirty-five years, two heart transplants, and countless medical procedures later, David shares how he's navigated life's unpredictable twists while maintaining his optimism and sense of humor. From cardiac arrests and facial reconstruction surgeries to raising a family and building a successful marketing career, David's journey is one of resilience.
In Take Heart, readers will discover:
- How to flip the script when life doesn't follow your plans.
- How relationships can sustain you through life's challenging moments.
- How developing a broader perspective can put daily struggles in context.
- How faith and service to others can transform your outlook even in dark times.
With refreshing candor (and a bit of wit), David reveals how he's maintained optimism through devastating setbacks. Whether you're facing a health crisis, a career setback, or any of life's unexpected storms, this memoir offers honest reflections for navigating life's toughest moments without losing your perspective.
This book tells more than David's story. It tells the reader how to face some of life's greatest challenges with extraordinary character. -Mike McCarthy, former President, ddm marketing & communications
