Rising Above: Triumphing Over Life's Physical, Mental and Emotional Challenges [Paul Gencarella]

Paul knows about overcoming challenges with positivity from his own experience.  Paul's 5 year old son was diagnosed with cancer during his first week of kindergarten.  A month later, Paul himself was diagnosed with cancer.  Later he endured financial hardships, suffered a mental breakdown, and was diagnosed with bipolar.  Can we get through hard things and become better on the other side? Absolutely!  Paul Gencarella Jr. is the founder of Mindset Mastery and an expert speaker, coach and self-image advisor.
