A Stuttering Revolution: Don't fix your stutter, fix your life

by Paul Gaskin

Overview

Feel like your stutter dominates every waking second of your life?

You’re not alone. An estimated 70 million adults world-wide have a stutter. Many believe their lives will be significantly limited by the way they speak, but it doesn’t have to be that way . Aged 17, Paul stopped trying to ‘fix’ his stutter, and over a long and succesful career has designed a unique, five-step road map to help him become so much more than his stutter : it can help you do the same.

This is a powerful and practical book that focuses on what you love to do and guides you to create the life you really want and deserve.
