Heart Attack by Jeff Schmidt
“This book is soul food! So encouraging!” (P. Henderson) HEART ATTACK is a fresh and original perspective on trauma, recovery and renewal. It is a must-have beacon of light for anyone going through adversity or significant life change. “Jeff writes the way he speaks; the way he lives; the way he inspires. He is less a man defined by what he does or says, as much as a man who lives out fiercely, faithfully and fearlessly the process of “becoming”. And in this book, it is this invitation that he extends to you, the reader.” (Dr. E. Chew) In his mid-40s, Jeff Schmidt unexpectedly found himself in hospital. In an instant, or rather a series of strained, chest crushing, arm aching, jaw clenching heart attacks, he was thrust from the life he knew as a healthy, tenacious professional and plunged into a strange new world. The journey was profound. Along the way there were many bleeps, groans, characters and emotions, but, most significantly, there was change. In this book, Jeff shares candid observations throughout the transformational journey which took him from losing sight of life as he knew it, to gaining new perspectives of life’s beauty and meaning. It was a journey that would ignite motivation, passion, and productivity. At his side, a ubiquitous 0.1mm pen and a trusty watercolour tin, which allowed him to candidly document the recovery in his vibrant signature style- the joy, the unexpected, the pain, and the revelation. For anyone wondering if there is hope beyond trauma. For anyone thirsting for an insightful perspective on recovery. For anyone yearning to renew their sense of passion for life. “Jeff reminds us of the fragility and unique value of our lives, which we so often take for granted, and encourages us to ‘live inspired’.” (M.
