Description of the book (back of the book): Dr. Lycka is a speaker, trainer, bestselling author, and respected cosmetic dermatologist. His life collapsed when he suddenly developed a right foot drop in 2003. Soon after, his right arm became dysfunctional, and he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) and given six months to live. He persisted and is here today because of his courage and determination. He is now a mentor, transformational speaker and thought leader.
