Essential Lessons for Life
by Bernd H-J H Braeuer
When Ben Braeuer’s son Jay suffered a life-altering Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), Ben's world was turned upside down. Faced with an uncertain future, Ben committed himself to guiding Jay’s recovery - an eleven-year journey that would transform not only his son's life but also his own. Along the way, Ben became a mentor, motivator, and advocate, working with Acquired Brain Injury survivors and at-risk youth, inspiring them to push beyond their limitations. Through powerful real-life experiences, Climbing Mountains, Reaching Goals offers a practical and deeply personal guide to healing, self-discovery, and personal achievement. Drawing from his experience in corporate leadership at the highest level of international business, whilst also engaging actively in different remedial practices like Tai Chi, various natural, and Native American Healing Practices, Ben shares strategies for overcoming life’s toughest challenges—one step at a time.
