So many of our dreams initially seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, whenever we summon the will, they soon become inevitable. If we can conquer outer space, we can conquer inner space, too.
Christopher Reeve has mastered the art of turning the impossible in to the inevitable. In Nothing Is Impossible, the author of the bestselling autobiography Still Me demonstrates we are all with the capacity of overcoming seemingly insurmountable hardships. He interweaves anecdotes from his own life with excerpts from speeches and interviews he’s given and with evocative photographs taken by his son Matthew.
Reeve teaches us that for able-bodied people, paralysis is a choice—an option to have with self-doubt and a fear of taking risks—and that it is no acceptable one. Reeve knows from experience that the task of conquering inner space is hard and that it requires some suffering—in the end, nothing worth having is easy to get. He asks challenging questions about why it seems so difficult—if not impossible—for all of us to work together as a society. He steers the reader gently, offering his reflections and guidance but not the pat answers that often characterize inspirational works.
Published on the eve of both his fiftieth birthday and the seventh anniversary of his spinal-cord injury, Christopher Reeve’s Nothing Is Impossible reminds us that life is not to be studied for granted but to be lived fully with zeal, curiosity, and gratitude. That is clearly a powerful message alone, but it's the messenger who gives it its full resonance.
