Having lost my father to ALS, I can confidently say this is the book that most represents what day-to-day life of living with ALS (as a caregiver) is like. Bravo, Jeremy Schreiber! I am a devoted fan and follower who feels unworthy to claim courage given the amount you show every day of your life. His extraordinary spirit, humor, and grace need to be experienced by everyone who thinks life is difficult. Of all the books I have ever read on personal courage, this book and this man are the most courageous I have known. Imagine a world where every movement becomes impossible over time and your body deteriorates while you are helpless to stop it. Schreiber will let you know how well-intentioned people either ignore a handicapped person or give a fleeting smile, without thinking that a little act of kindness would make his entire day. Even if your life is perfect and your body is disease-free, Mr. The author fights this disease with unfailing perseverance, humor, and dedication to others who do now or might suffer from this horrible affliction. This beautifully written book explains in startlingly clear detail what it is like to go from a powerful, successful, happy human being to a man in a wheelchair with almost no control over his body or anything else for that matter. With humor, common sense, compassion, and without feeling sorry for himself in the least, Jeremy Schreiber takes you on a journey through the hellish trauma of ALS, known to most of us as Lou Gehrig’s disease. This book reflects the extraordinary life of a truly courageous man. Never Say Invisible is a remarkable work that the powers that be should see as a document that deserves national recognition for its great service to humanity. He explained simply what to do, how to react, and how to get what you need to help with your disability. Jeremy finished his life's story by presenting a blueprint to other disabled people everywhere.

As a superior salesman, he crafted a presentation that helped bring 1 million dollars to New Jersey ALS. He was called upon to speak to the New Jersey Legislature to ask for the money needed for ALS. While he criticized the Federal Government for not fulfilling its role for the disabled, he didn't sit by and just complain. This Federal Program, which is supposed to help all disabled, is failing miserably as Jeremy explains from his wheelchair vantage point.

Reaching into the realms of dark humor, Jeremy offers important insights as to the practical working of the ADA. In particular, the way we interact with the disabled. It was interspersed with a light touch of humor into the foibles of the human condition. Jeremy did not write a book that only gave a moderately acerbic account of living every day with ALS. The opinions I am about to express may be seen as slanted due to my familial relationship. Before I begin this review, I want to be perfectly transparent.
