Global Nomad

While broke and hungry in Italy, Tom Haig vowed to always push his limits--The Bridge to Venice Rule. In "Global Nomad," he recounts his thrilling international diving adventures and after breaking his back, his extraordinary post-accident return to that pledge--racing in marathons, traveling solo, meeting the Dalai Lama, jamming with jazz great Oscar Klein, holding disability seminars, and starting the International Rehabilitation Forum with his physician brother, Andy. In the process, he bares the unvarnished aftermath and heartbreaking vulnerabilities that follow permanent paralysis, and inspires us all to take risks and live remarkable, generous, lives.
