I have just finished reading ALL THE RIGHT WORDS: My Journey as a Sportswriter Who Stutters, by Ryan Cowley, and found it to be a truly inspirational story.While telling his story of trying to break into the field of sportswriting, despite what many would consider to be an overwhelming obstacle, the inability to always communicate clearly, Ryan shares with us lessons of determination and perseverance, that we can all apply to the personal struggles we face in our own lives. His honesty and candor about his particular struggle, including issues like depression that arise from that struggle, can be applied to our own lives and the struggles that we have to face in them. He tells us that we can overcome the obstacles that we face if we are determined not to be held back by them. That is a truly inspirational message for today’s world, in which so many of us face such daunting challenges.Whether or not you are a sports fan, or a Person Who Stutters, there are valuable lessons for dealing with life’s adversity contained in the pages of this engaging and easy to read book. I highly recommend it to you.

I thoroughly enjoyed the author's story-telling. He comes across as completely authentic and approachable, and it was refreshing to read an autobiographical work written in "real time." The author is open about all he has learned and overcome, and perhaps moreso about just how much story he has yet to write. Bravo, looking forward to the follow-up.

A must read for anyone facing seemingly insurmountable challenges. In this life we all get life’s experiences good and bad. It’s what we do with them that determines our lives going forward. Ryan is an inspiration on how to not only survive too many negatives but build on them to have a happy and satisfying life.

We’ve all faced challenges and setbacks, but it’s how we deal with them that defines our journey. Ryan Cowley’s journey is one of courage, perseverance and an indomitable will to set his own path towards success. His story is both moving and inspiring. A must read.
