Synopsis

In Vision From the Heart, Gary Haun shares his perspective on facing life's challenges. After losing his eyesight while in the Marine Corps, Gary did not let his limitations control his life. He hopes that by focusing on some of his experiences, others, especially those with limitations, will push themselves in a positive direction. As Gary says, 'when we accept the challenges in our lives, we can then attempt to overcome them.'This book contains Gary's personal philosophy. He has felt the snow on Mount Kilimanjaro and has been bumped around by Great White sharks. He tells you what it is like-from his perspective. A perspective that is unique. Not because of his blindness, but because of his attitude of never giving up. In Vision From the Heart, Gary shares how he became a professional magician and a master instructor in Japanese swordsmanship. He also shares his heart when he talks about his wife's suicide, with a hope that it can help others. This book is not about living with blindness - it's about living. {Introduction by Dr. Jane Goodall)
