Every aspect of Barbadian history, geography, culture and society is covered in this book: from flying fish to Gary Sobers; from chattel houses to rum shops and from the Landship to the six native types of lizard. The sources of local legends and folklore share the page with the story of rum and the origins of the name Bimshire, while the biographies of the great and the good jostle with the humorous stories of more colorful characters.

'What a story of transformation, inner power and inspiration' Jonny Wilkinson 
Mouth artist, motivational speaker and author of the inspirational memoir The Little Big Things, Henry Fraser, explores the transformative power of acceptance in this motivational guide.
If The Little Big Things was about Henry's past, The Power in You is about his present and his future. And through understanding his daily experience, Henry teaches us all how best we can live.
 This book is about right now, and it's about tomorrow.
It's about recognising progress, it's about accepting our past to become free of it, it's about living in the now to avoid anxiety. It's future focused on the positive.
Henry discusses acceptance, how to adapt and deal with our pasts, how to forgive ourselves, and how to forgive others. He will remind us to live in the present and just how empowering that can be, how to work through self-doubt, how to become aware of our progress, and how everything you need in life comes from within you.
The power is in you.

Get your questions about life ready, as Henry has the answers - FEARNE COTTON What a story of transformation, inner power and inspiration - JONNY WILKINSON 'Henry Fraser's positive outlook, perseverance and passion for life are nothing short of extraordinary. Much can be learnt from this remarkable man' DAILY EXPRESS Mouth artist, motivational speaker and author of the inspirational memoir The Little Big Things, Henry Fraser, explores the transformative power of acceptance in this motivational guide. Combining his wisdom and insight, Henry shows you that the key to keeping a positive attitude - in the face of difficult and unexpected challenges - is to accept that seemingly negative experiences, such as failures, disappointments, mistakes and misfortunes, are actually the ultimate markers of human success. Sharing the lessons he learned after a freak accident left him paralysed from the neck down, Henry shows us that setbacks are inevitable in life but defeat is optional. He will encourage you to always search for a new perspective if what you see, at first, seems only dark, limiting or frightening. He believes there is always a reason to be grateful. The Power of Acceptance inspires you to accept yourself and to release negative feelings towards things, situations or people that you have no control over and cannot change. Henry reveals the simple words you can say to yourself and the practical changes you can make to become someone who adapts to unpredicatble events and obstacles, and who accepts whatever hand they are dealt in this crazy game called life.

Henry Fraser’s entertaining autobiography starts with tales of a unique childhood growing up at the local governance centre of a rural parish in Barbados, where most parishioners visited the offices of his parents at the family home. This rich community involvement had a profound influence on his life of service. Sir Henry describes why he chose to study medicine at the University of the West Indies at Mona, Jamaica, and so became a passionate West Indian. After specialization and PhD studies in London, he returned to Barbados and helped to build better health care there. He promoted rational therapeutics regionally and globally, working with PAHO and WHO, and his research centre and wide-ranging research have greatly benefited the Caribbean. His passion for teaching, patient care, mentoring and management shows throughout the book.\nSir Henry has been described as the Renaissance man of Barbados: in addition to his remarkable medical career, he has been public orator for Barbados and for the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, and an independent senator in the Barbados Senate (where he discovered the reasons for the syndrome he labelled Government’s Implementation Deficit Disorder or GIDD). His other lifelong passions have been art, architectural history and heritage preservation, and writing. His autobiography makes fascinating reading: he is a natural story teller and, as he often says, “History is his story.” The book is replete with captivating anecdotes and is illustrated with some of his paintings.
