Wolfgang Wolf was a freelance copywriter and co-founder of Ogilvy and Mather Direct as well as their Creative Director. 


 


In 1990, his life made a sharp turn.  He suffered a major stroke and should not have survived.  He shocked the doctors when not only did he survive but was able to do things they said he would never do again; walk, talk, and take care of himself. 


 


Since his stroke, he has founded a registered charity, got a Bachelors degree majoring in Counseling and is a guest lecturer.


 


His book, How to Survive (After) a Stroke, is NOT a book of rehabilitation techniques and medical advice.  Rather, it gives invaluable support by sharing stories of numerous stroke victims about isolation, loneliness, stigma, fear, disability and pain. It is a book that addresses coping skills to move past these negatives.


 


He is an active blogger and would love to connect with you - especially if you have had a stroke or know anyone who has. He will offer advice and support.
