Feel like your stutter dominates every waking second of your life?
You're not alone. An estimated 70 million adults world-wide have a stutter. Many believe their lives will be significantly limited by the way they speak, but it doesn't have to be that way. Paul Gaskin stopped trying to 'fix' his own stutter aged 17, and over a long and successful career has designed a unique, five-step road map to help him become so much more than his stutter: it can help you do the same.
This is a powerful and practical book that focuses on what you love to do and guides you to create the live you really want and deserve.
