In the spirit of motivational quotes or what have you, a book I enjoyed is Nassim Taleb's Antifragile. The concept is that instead of pushing the idea of weathering a storm or enduring a bad period,...

Your stuttering might stick around for life but it doesn't have to ruin it. The downward spiral is tough to break out of. I myself was at the bottom of one, but my latest strategy to reverse it was to...
