Stuttering: An Internal Dialogue - E-book - ePub

Stuttering affects about 1% of the total population. But unlike some other disorders, for many people, it can be overcome with practice and determination. And like any other disorder, it comes with its own set of experiences and can teach us a lot about ourselves and about life.  Its interesting that seemingly common tales of stuttering can actually be an inspiration for many people throughout the world.
It has been seen time and again, that sharing can be an effective way to bridge gaps between nations and countries; and how one story at one corner of the world can be an inspiration to another at the other corner. This novel is a unique step in that direction - common tales woven in a fabric of story telling. As a life coach, I often come across amazing and uplifting stories of overcoming significant physical and mental blocks.
When I met Alexa (yes - unfortunately that's her name. No wonder she decided to go with Siri) who had overcome stuttering after years of facing ridicule, I was sure I would be a witness to such a story. Little did I understand the depth of mental and emotional challenge that accompanies stuttering and the endurance that is required to get over it.  This book has been inspired by such stories.
