Story
"I'm going down now", I said to a young woman a few seconds before the darkness-my first cardiac arrest. As I returned to work as a behavioral coach, it became maddening to hear about all-consuming, everyday problems and misguided priorities while I fought to merely remain conscious. The Half-Known Life challenges conventional thinking of success, identity, and personal change. Most often, truly profound change happens following events that shake someone to their core-a car accident, death of a family member, or cardiac arrest that pulls them into a moment of clarity.

Publisher's summary
Mysterious Ways: Discovering the Miracles of Life as I Fight for My Own is a collection of heartwarming, inspiring, spiritual, emotional, and seemingly unbelievable stories in the life of author Jay Gittleson.
Jay’s childhood was filled with enough trauma and drama for a dozen TV specials, including a triple-murder in his family.
However, a rough childhood was just the start of Jay’s miraculous journey. One of the most miraculous stories is how Jay chose to deal with facing end-stage renal failure.
Jay, a Jewish man, and his Catholic wife move to the small town of Nazareth, Pennsylvania, after Jay has a vision. The couple is led to an evangelical church that works hand-in-hand with Orthodox rabbis to help save his life.
When reading Jay’s stories, it sometimes feels like you’re listening to a real-life Forest Gump who becomes mysteriously connected to several famous people. People like the sitcom star Fred “Rerun” Berry and baseball legends Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden keep popping up in Jay’s life at important moments.
But the most moving miracles in Jay’s audiobook are about the ordinary people he connects with, like the dancer who offers Jay a kidney, the homeless man on the subway who becomes a confidant, or the gambler who is also a talented poet.
Mysterious Ways: Discovering the Miracles of Life as I Fight for My Own is essential listening for anyone interested in spirituality, miracles, and what it means to live life to the fullest.
This inspiring and heartwarming collection of stories isn’t a typical memoir. Instead, it’s a moving look at the power of gratitude to create big and small miracles every day.

Story
A story of fighting to belong in a world that wasn't built for all of us and of one woman's activism - from the streets of Brooklyn and San Francisco to inside the halls of Washington - Being Heumann recounts Judy Heumann's lifelong battle to achieve respect, acceptance, and inclusion in society. From fighting to attend grade school after being described as a "fire hazard" to later winning a lawsuit against the New York City school system for denying her a teacher's license because of her paralysis, Judy's actions set a precedent that improved rights for disabled people.

Story
On September 11, 2001, Joe Maio went to work in the north tower of the World Trade Center. He never returned, leaving behind a wife, Sharri, and 15-month old son, Devon. Five years later, Sharri remarried, and Devon welcomed a new dad into his life. For thousands, the whole country really, 9/11 is a day of grief. For Adam and Sharri Maio Schefter and their family it’s not just a day of grief, but also hope. This is a story of 9/11, but it’s also the story of 9/12 and all the days after. Life moved on. Pieces were picked up. New dreams were dreamed. The Schefters are the embodiment of that.

Story
A father’s exhilarating and funny love letter to his daughter with Down syndrome whose vibrant and infectious approach to life has something to teach all of us about how we can better live our own. Jillian Daugherty was born with Down syndrome. On the day Paul and Kerry, her parents, brought her home from the hospital they were flooded with worry and uncertainty, but also overwhelming love, which they channeled to “the job of building the better Jillian”. While their daughter had special needs, they refused to allow her to grow up needy - “expect, don’t accept” became their mantra.

Story
When Edward M. Hallowell was 11, a voice out of nowhere told him he should become a psychiatrist. A mental health professional of the time would have called this psychosis. But young Edward (Ned) took it in stride, despite not quite knowing what "psychiatrist" meant. With a psychotic father, an alcoholic mother, an abusive stepfather, and two so-called learning disabilities of his own, Ned was accustomed to unpredictable behaviour from those around him and to a mind he felt he couldn't always control.

Story
Writer Karla Cornejo Villavicencio was on DACA when she decided to write about being undocumented for the first time using her own name. It was right after the election of 2016, the day she realized the story she'd tried to steer clear of was the only one she wanted to tell. So she wrote her immigration lawyer's phone number on her hand in Sharpie and embarked on a trip across the country to tell the stories of her fellow undocumented immigrants—and to find the hidden key to her own.
