The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
If you’re looking for a powerful memoir that can be read in one sitting and will almost certainly leave a lasting impression of its uplifting, inspirational message, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is 100% recommended. Left yearning for more after having watched the amazing film version, I was even more mesmerized by this unprecedented autobiography from Jean-Dominique Bauby, the French Elle editor diagnosed with locked-in syndrome in 1995. I can think of no better way to transcend the everyday frustrations of life and never lose perspective on what’s truly important again than by merely reflecting for a moment on the legacy of this man’s vision of the world.
