Obstacle Illusions; Transforming Adversity into Success

This fun and fast-moving book is a collection of the truly remarkable experiences - highs, lows, and most embarrassing - of Stephen Hopson, with each story revealing its own life lesson. Some are hilarious while others are profound enough to change your life. Whether your passion is career and business, home and family, or finding yourself spiritually, the power in Obstacle Illusions will inspire you to get up and give your cherished dreams a chance to succeed instead of giving up and wondering "what could have been." Stephen J. Hopson was born deaf but quickly learned to speak and began attending public school. At five years old, he told his parents he would become a pilot and was dismissed as being foolish, but as an adult he made aviation history by becoming the world's first deaf instrument-rated pilot. He also became an award-winning Wall Street stockbroker. He is now a transformational speaker, inspiring thousands of people worldwide to believe in themselves and achieve the impossible.
