I Prescribe a Positive Vibe: Stay On Track No More Looking Back

At 24 years of age, Anthony Catalano went from being an active healthy adult to a Quadriplegic through an accident at work. Part of his recovery was finding that the limits he had were mostly internal, and that by facing each day with a positive attitude led to successful and joyful days. In I Prescribe a Positive Vibe, Catalano shares insights and feelings that have helped him manage to keep his spirit and attitudes positive in the 24 years since that accident. With a mix of essays, free verse and photographs, Vibe is an inspirational book that reflects the values and relationships that Catalano found helped him the most with his challenges – that external limitations don’t have to also be internal ones.

The saying “I was sad because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet” is highly applicable here. Plenty of people feel they don’t have enough, and that the limitations they have can’t be overcome. Catalano has not only survived but overcame with grace and dignity, a situation that would break many others. I Prescribe a Positive Vibe provides inspiration to overcoming daily travails, and shows that there are no limitations that love, faith and a positive attitude cannot overcome. Catalano is a man with no feet, teaching the shoeless to make their own shoes.
