Publisher's Summary:
Adversity. Every living person faces it. It's part of the human condition. I'm Christopher Wiehl, an actor and filmmaker, and I've had plenty of challenges of my own. Some people may not think that's the case, but I bet they've never had brain fluid leaking from their nose.
I'd been living what some would have considered a charmed life when, in 2008, doctors discovered a brain tumor next to the auditory nerve in my right ear. It nearly killed me, but I'm still here. And through it all, one lesson I've learned is that the adversity people face is not as important as their response to it. It's how they overcome the obstacles--how they learn to walk like a man, as Bruce Springsteen would say--that keeps them moving forward.

I recommend Christopher Wiehlâs autobiographical âplaybookâ (as he calls it) âTrying To Walk Like A Manâ. Better yet, I recommend taking a walk with Christopher. Thatâs what it will feel like as you begin turning the pages of this âwelcome to my lifeâ treatise heâs written with co-author John Turner. Donât worry, you wonât have to run to keep up. Wiehl is an accomplished athlete who runs five miles daily to stay in shape, and heâd probably leave you in his dust. Whatever pace you set for yourselves, Chris will make sure youâre astride. Heâs very good that way, always checking to make sure you understand the life lessons heâs learned, the conclusions heâs drawn, and the observations heâs made throughout his life as a husband, athlete, father, and friend. Heâs very attentive to you as he outlines his career and demystifies the craft of a successful Hollywood actor, and heâs quite eloquent in sharing his experience as a man in the prime of life being diagnosed with a tumor that is going to require brain surgery.
As you read, as you stroll leisurely with Christopher Wiehl along whatever path youâve chosen, youâll find yourself drawn in by his easy conversational tone and his gentle probes. âAre you with me?â heâll ask on occasion. âTrying To Walk Like A Manâ is, indeed, being with Christopher Wiehl on a sojourn that leads to a surprising destination. When you âarriveâ, youâll discover that heâs been guiding you both to a place that is not a soccer field, baseball diamond, movie set, nor operating room. Itâs a mountain top that overlooks a vista of life itself.
Youâll be glad you trusted Chris and John, and you will be uplifted.
N.B. I was given a copy of "Trying To Walk Like A Man" two months ago by it's co-author, John Turner, prior to its publishing release date, for my opinion.
Riveting Read
I am going to be honest here. Had the authors, Wiehl and Turner, not given me an advanced copy of their book, âTrying to Walk Like a Man,â I probably would not have chosen to read it. Which would have been a crying shame. The subject is brain surgery - heavy duty stuff, but there was a good-looking man on the front cover that stared at me for days, urging me to peel open the front cover. Uncertain what walking like a man meant, I dove into the first chapter.
