Life is an Attitude is about a guy named Ron Heagy; he took a vacation down to southern California and was learning how to surf. Then in a blink of an eye his life was flipped upside down. Ron was a six foot two athlete with a full college scholarship ahead of him. His life and future goals were ruined. Throughout the rest of the book it talks about how Ron made the best of his life. He got married, got his masters degree at San Diego State, and got lots of jobs as a councilor and school teacher. This book gives you great advice when you feel like everything is going wrong. I have to say there were only positives in this book; I couldn’t find one thing I really didn’t like about this book. First of all I liked how this was a real life situation and not some made up book. Also the book was so full of life and has very good details on everything, mostly because Ron Heagy wrote this book himself. Also I like how nothing stops him from accomplishing his goals in life. Even as a Quadriplegic he managed to go to school and get his masters, get married to what seemed like a helpful Christian women, and lastly to get a good job that helps other kids with their problems. Ron Heagy was a great counselor. He counseled at a middle school and was the most loved counselor there. Then there were real pictures in the middle of the book and every picture had been talked about somewhere in the book. For example there is a picture that he took ten minutes before his accident at the beach and that picture is in the book. Lastly I liked this book a lot because when I was younger I meet Ron Heagy but never got to read his book, so it gave me a change to read about his life and take in the advice he gives if I ever come through a situation like his. I can be honest and say I really don’t like reading but once I picked this book up and started to read I couldn’t stop reading it. It’s one of the few books to me that aren’t boring, it’s full of life and everything about it is interesting. If you’re going through rough times in your life I really recommend you to read this story. It’s full of great advice that may help. Also Ron Heagy is a Christian guy and he does talk a lot about his religious believes, and prays a lot. He never stopped praying when things went wrong or prayers weren’t getting answered. All in all I really liked the book Life is an Attitude, it made me realize how you shouldn’t take life for granted and you should always make the best out of everyday because at any second your life can be taken away from you or you can have a horrible injury that will affect you for the rest of your life just like it did to Ron.
