5 out of 5 stars Kyle Maynard "No Excuses"   April 11, 2008
It is a great book. It proves that the mind can overcome any physical disablilities.


5 out of 5 stars Inspirational, well written, has helped me with my patients   February 2, 2008
Very great story. It's one thing to tell a kid that they can do anything they put their mind to when they're born with a body that's not "normal".

But it's another thing for a man like Kyle to SHOW people that it's possible. He's served as an inspiration to at least 2 of my patients and their families, because they can see the possibilities of life as an adult, defining and projecting who you are as a man, rather than letting society tell you who you are supposed to be.

Excellent read. Highly recommended.

Kyle Maynard is such an inspiration. I have recommended this book to several people: a wrestling coach, a parent scared of giving birth to a congenital amputee, a girl with poor self-esteem. Kyle is an amazing young man and a blessing to humanity.

I just finished this book, and I'm planning on recommending it to everyone! I've never met Kyle personally, but after reading this inspirational biography, he's at the top of my list of people I admire and aspire to be more like. He shows that no matter what limitations you may face in life, you can accomplish anything with faith (in God AND in yourself) and determination. What a class act!
