Das Auto, das mir meine Behinderung genommen hat (Seiler)
€19,80
My life was like the rev counter of my Porsche: constantly at or in the red zone.
At the age of two, Reiner Seiler contracted polio and was unable to learn to walk. It was his strong ambition and tireless determination, which he developed very early on, that taught him to walk in the end, and so he was rehabilitated as a teenager and was even quite successful in competitive sport (wrestling).
At the start of what could have been a great sporting career, he was dealt another blow. At the age of 21, he was paralyzed in an accident at work and has only been able to get around in a wheelchair ever since. Despite this, he continued to play sport successfully and achieved impressive successes in disabled sport.
"If you have a goal in mind and a strong ambition, you can achieve a lot in life. No matter where you come from, what education you have or whether you are disabled."

The author talks directly and authentically about his incredibly eventful life. A really entertaining book. Highly recommended.

I came across this book by chance and bought it from Amazon.
Interesting and easy to read, and what the man - from a humble background - has done with his life after his severe strokes of fate is absolutely remarkable and exemplary, as well as a testimony to what is still possible with courage, determination, ambition and enterprise, even from a wheelchair.
Hats off to the man and what he has achieved and experienced with a severe disability.
A good read, not only for fellow sufferers, but also for others who have already given up with much less of a handicap and are just sitting around at home.
