Summary: Marcus Aurelius Anderson is an author, TEDx speaker, Keynote Speaker and executive Mindset Coach. <br><br>While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army, Marcus suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed. After dying on the operating table twice, the surgeons saved his life, but told him he'd never walk again. <br><br>Having no other option, Marcus started doing some brutally honest soul searching, looking for the lesson to be learned from his injury. Once he started seeing his Adversity as a gift instead of a curse, something miraculous began to happen...<br><br>Marcus now speaks, writes, inspires and teaches others to overcome their own Adversity and actualize their personal definition of success. <br><br>His TEDx talk “The Gift of Adversity” tells of how we can use our Adversity to make us into better leaders, citizens and human beings. <br><br>His book “The Gift of Adversity: Overcoming Paralysis and Pain to Find Purpose” is available on Amazon and Kindle.<br><br>If you would like more information on Marcus please check out the following links below:<br><br>Website - <a href="http://www.marcusaureliusanderson.com/" rel="noopener">http://www.marcusaureliusanderson.com/</a><br>Book - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Adversity-Overcoming-Paralysis-Purpose/dp/1978225547" rel="noopener">https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Adversity-Overcoming-Paralysis-Purpose/dp/1978225547</a><br>LinkedIn - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcus-aurelius-anderson-1380b615a/" rel="noopener">https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcus-aurelius-anderson-1380b615a/</a><br><br>Humans 2.0 Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/Humans2Podcast" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com/Humans2Podcast</a><br>Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/markymetry" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com/markymetry</a><br>Medium - <a href="https://medium.com/" rel="noopener">https://medium.com/</a>@markymetry<br>Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mark.metry.9" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/mark.metry.9</a><br>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/markmetry/" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/markmetry/</a><br>LinkedIn - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-metry/" rel="noopener">https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-metry/</a><br>Mark Metry - <a href="https://www.markmetry.com/" rel="noopener">https://www.markmetry.com/</a>
