Sinopsis

How one woman got her life back — one step at a time
 
Checking in at a tiny 5 foot 2 inches and a massive 23 stone in weight, Irish broadcast journalist Teena Gates was staring death in the face, when a doctor’s grim diagnosis shocked her into a decision that would change her life. If she continued to take the path she was on, she would die.
 
Just over one year later Teena had lost an amazing 12 stone — more than half her body weight. She had climbed to Everest Base Camp and reached the icy summit of Island Peak in the Himalayas. She had gone from finding it difficult to walk to the shops — to being on top of the world.
 
One Foot in Front of the Other is the story of realising that you can change your life against all odds. It’s the inspirational journey of a woman who was resigned to living life imprisoned in her own body, until a spark lit up a desire to break free. It’s a story of pain, of hope, of friendship, and of how far you can really go — by putting one foot in front of the other.

    An illuminating and witty dialogue with one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Ramin Jahanbegloo's interview with Isaiah Berlin grew into a series of five conversations which offer an intimate view of Berlin and his ideas. They include discussions on pluralism and liberty as well as the thinkers and writers who influenced Berlin. This revised edition provided an excellent introduction to Berlin's thought. Ramin Jahanbegloo is an Iranian philosopher, who has taught in Europe and North America. In 2006 he was imprisoned for several months in Iran. He is currently teaching Political Philosophy at Toronto University. 'Though like Our Lord and Socrates he does not publish much, he thinks and says a great deal and has had an enormous influence on our times'. Maurice Bowra 'Berlin never talks down to the interviewer. Conversations here means the minds of the interviewed and interviewer meet on equal terms in language that is transparently clear, informed, witty and entertaining'. Stephen Spender 'He is wise without seeming pompous, witty without seeming trivial, affectionate without seeming sentimental'. Michael Ignatieff 'Isaiah Berlin... has for fifty years in this talkative and quarrelsome city (Oxford) been something special, admired by all and disliked by no-one... a benevolent super-don'.
