At 28, Dan MacQueen was leading a healthy, active life - until suddenly he wasn't. Dan has survived two emergency brain surgeries, weeks in a coma, and months in a rehab hospital. What he found out along the way might surprise you: there is nothing like a brain injury to refocus the mind. Driven by a positive mindset, Dan battled through excruciating rehab exercises to rebuild his life and return to a job he loved. How does Dan use constructive optimism to navigate through life? What are the ways he learned to approach setbacks? Listen to our new episode that tells Dan's resilience story.
As Dan says "It's not that I don't care what you think about me, It's just that I care a little more what I think about myself". If it comes across as arrogant, it's just the way I communicate with myself to help me rebuild. Chop wood, carry water (work).
