Second Chances: Transforming Adversity Into Opportunity is a wonderfully inspiring and engaging book detailing the author's trying fall from grace and the things he learned along the way. This is equal parts a biography and a motivational/spiritual guide for readers to learn from Mr. Gallagher's mistakes and triumphs. The book provides an honest, forthright look into the rise, fall and self-discovery of a man who had it all and then lost it all because of truly bad choices.What makes this book stand out is the vivid and poignant writing style the author uses to really bring his story and his journey to life; shedding light on just how he turned the adversity in life into opportunity... and how the reader can do so as well. I found myself caught up in the author's life and struggles in a way that really brought home the fact that life is a small collection of trials and triumphs that we need to overcome and learn from to truly live and survive. Overall, this was an inspiring and motivating book that captured the poignancy of life and the sheer beauty of adversity if only because it helps up grow in startling ways.
