Unbreakable with Dr. Rainer Zitelmann

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with the prominent economist, historian,
sociologist, and author Dr. Rainer Zitelmann about his fine new
book Unbreakable Spirit: Rising Above All Odds.Dr. Zitelmann said
his book is about physically disabled individuals who refuse to
adopt the persona and soothing-but false excuses of victimhood
–sexism, racism, feminism, capitalism -- and instead seek to take
advantage of the initiative to use their powers to not only
survive, but to thrive.Dr. Zitelmann discusses the achievements of
20 unique individuals – including the blind Saliya Kahawatte who
climbed the seven highest mountains on the seven continents,
Beethoven, who composed the 9th Symphony when nearly deaf, and the
extraordinary success of singer Ray Charles in rising from a ruined
life to preeminence ins his field— who provided all of us the
lesson that what makes a person great is his or her ability to
transform weaknesses into strengths and overcome limitations.All of
these individuals, Dr. Zitelmann said, consciously or
unconsciously, followed what has been, until recently, an integral
part of the American character, and was followed by many others in
the Western world, namely what is often called the “American
Spirit”, which holds that each person is the master of his or her
life and failure in seeking one’s goals is the individual’s fault
not the fault of other people or of “the system”.Indeed, Dr.
Zetilmann argued that this kind of spirit owes much to living a
life in a vibrant capitalistic society, as socialist ideology is
always intent on making people dependent and to see themselves as
hopeless victims of the socialist system.

All Odds is available at Amazon and many other booksellers.
