"Y-not" is "Tony" Spelled Backwards-And That Semordnilap* Can Change Your Life Too many of us go through life getting the "short-end of the stick", cheating ourselves of the best that the world has to offer. But not Tony Lam. He learned early on to ask himself why not live life large?, why not go for the gold? Life didn't start out too promising for Tony. He could have been stigmatized from infancy when his pediatrician told his mom that her son would grow up to be a short man, relatively speaking. But rather than quail at the news, Tony's mother became determined to prepare her son for the inevitable. A clever, inventive "Tiger Mom," she playfully recast the physician's diagnosis as what she calls "Short Man Syndrome" and began to encourage her Tony's gigantic appetite for life and all it has to offer. In his new book, Short Man Syndrome, Tony Lam shares with readers how he came to that oversized zest for living-and how it's rewarded him with success, happiness, and accomplishment. By the time you finish this self-inspired book, you'll be asking yourself "why not restart my own personal journey?" And if you do, your life might be nothing short of amazing!
