About the Author: Greg Ritscher is a dynamic speaker with decades of experience in motivating individuals and corporations to take on measurable goals to claim the success they desire. He himself was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2011 amid the hustle of career and family life. Shortly after coming to terms with his regressive condition, Greg made the decision to take Parkinson's head-on with a new sense of urgent passion and purpose. Sadly, just a few years later, as he was finally settling into his new pace of life, he was hit with a second disaster, prostate cancer. Battling life-threatening medical conditions has almost become second nature to Greg. He refuses to become complacent, or merely be a victim of circumstance. Greg makes every single day count for something better. Maintaining a sharp mind and a passion for fitness is no longer just a personal preference, for Greg it has become a matter of survival. This former "Warlord of Commerce" is quickly becoming a true champion for the greater Parkinson's community, as well as anyone facing major setbacks in their lives. If you are not reading this guy's book you are definitely missing out on the wisdom and fortitude of this humble yet fiery man of action. What Readers are Saying: "Much more than a how-to book ....
