“A powerful, honest and heartfelt story of survival against the odds. This is a book that everyone should read.”
Professor Steven West CBE DL, Vice-Chancellor President and CEO, University of the West of England
As safety is increasingly valued above resilience and victimhood is valued above autonomy, I agreed to write this book because I was inspired by the extraordinary personal challenges Rob Law overcame.
He was born with cystic fibrosis and watched his twin sister die from the same illness at sixteen. Told he could not expect to live into his twenties, he made a promise that he was going to defy the odds and live a long and successful life.
Despite being humiliated at school because of his dyslexia and in Dragons Den, where his business was described as “worthless”, Rob went on to create a new category of consumer product, build a global business brand, become an accomplished athlete, get an MBE from the Queen, bring joy to millions of children all over the world and become a father to three children after being told he would die childless.
