This is a story about health, identity and resilience. It's a story about determining how we respond to bumps in the road. Imagine your life turning upside down in a single moment. One day you’re a healthy, active 28-year-old enjoying life in London, and the next, you’re facing emergency brain surgery that leaves you fighting for your life. This is the harrowing reality Dan MacQueen faced when a non-cancerous cyst in his pineal gland caused a catastrophic buildup of pressure in his brain. Dan recounts his remarkable journey from a sudden loss of vision on a London subway platform to the grueling recovery process that followed his surgery. He describes waking up in critical condition, unable to walk, talk, or smile, and the sheer determination and resilience  it took to relearn these fundamental abilities. This episode is a powerful reminder that life can change in an instant, but it’s how we respond to those changes that truly defines us. Dan’s story will inspire you, challenge you, and perhaps change the way you approach your own life’s challenges.     What they're saying:   “This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys.
