Soon he’s diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and the challenges that are foisted on his family life, his career, and on a reality competition program are all in this book and instructive. The philosophy at the heart of this book are these seven elements so that one could live their best life. The book is published by Viking. Visit www.timsr.ca.
