Fully alive

As chairman of Special Olympics, Timothy P. Shriver has dedicated his life to the world's most forgotten minority - people with intellectual disabilities. And in a time when we are all more rudderless than ever, when we've lost our sense of what's ultimately important, when we hunger for stability but get only uncertainty, he has looked to them for guidance.

This book chronicles Shriver's discovery of a radically different, and inspiring, way of life.

We see straight into the lives of those who seem powerless but who have turned that into a power of their own, and through them learn that we are all totally vulnerable and totally valuable at the same time.
