At age 54, Michael Murphy's life drastically changed... but he refused to give up. The doctors thought he wouldn't live. And when he did, those same doctors thought he would never walk again. Today Mike is in better shape than he was at 40. And he’s back on the golf course walking 18 holes and shooting in the 80s. A “5 Percenter” is a patient who survives sudden cardiac arrest and a severe lack of oxygen to the brain—only 5% survive that trauma. These survivors experience what is referred to as an anoxic Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). In this book, Mike Murphy tells the inspiring story of his TBI, his survival and recovery. Against all odds—and after years of physical therapy, an indomitable spirit and the love and support of friends and family—Mike is walking, golfing and living life to the fullest. The 5 Percenter is a story of how strength, love and golf drove a remarkable recovery and a chance to embrace life and those he loves with renewed passion and joy.
