You cannot choose how long you live, but you can choose how fully. In Terminally Optimistic, Iain Ward shares the profound lessons learned after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at age 30. This book is a powerful exploration of finding purpose, gratitude, and momentum even when facing the ultimate time constraint.

Ward transformed his diagnosis into action, launching the global fundraising mission, The King of Chemo, which has raised over $500,000 for cancer charities and built a worldwide community exceeding 16 million people. This debut book channels all its profits back into his ongoing fundraising activities.
