We’ve all had ups and downs in our lives, though it seems some have had more than their fair share. One such individual is Bhava Ram, a former network news war correspondent who suffered a career-ending broken back, and after a failed surgery, was considered permanently disabled and confined to a body brace.
The regiment of medications were debilitating enough, but years later Bhava was diagnosed with stage four cancer and given a very dim prognosis for his survival. Despite the long odds, this was not to be the end of Bhava’s story, as his own son provided the inspiration to take an unconventional route to reclaim his life.
Bhava talked about his journey from near death, to strength and abundant health during his presentation at TEDxSanDiego in December 2012, but he’s also written about the experience: Warrior Pose, A War Correspondent’s Memoir.
If you’re lucky enough to live in Southern California, Bhava’s book premiere is on Sunday, May 5th, 2013 at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice located on the University of San Diego campus – reserve a seat to see Bhava Ram in person!
