‘This is a courageous life story that speaks as much to the questing intellect of the mind, as it does to the raw vulnerability of the heart.’
Dr Esther Chew
HEART ATTACK
About the Book
In his mid-40s, Jeff Schmidt unexpectedly found himself in hospital. In an instant, or rather a series of strained, chest crushing, arm aching, jaw clenching heart attacks, he was thrust from the life he knew as a healthy, tenacious professional and plunged into a strange new world. The journey was profound. Along the way there were many bleeps, groans, characters and emotions, but, most significantly, there was change.
In this book, Jeff shares candid observations throughout the transformational journey which took him from losing sight of life as he knew it to gaining new perspectives of life’s beauty and meaning. It was a journey that would ignite his motivation, passion, and productivity. At his side, a ubiquitous 0.1mm pen and a trusty watercolour tin, which allowed him to candidly document the recovery- the joy, the unexpected, the pain, and the revelation.
For anyone wondering if there is hope beyond trauma.
For anyone thirsting for an insightful perspective on recovery.
For anyone yearning to renew their sense of passion for life.
HEART ATTACK is a fresh and original perspective on trauma, recovery and renewal.
