Tyler Oberheu Shares a Positive Perspective in Living with Tourette’s in a Delightful, Inspiring, and Heartwarming Memoir
In “Twist and Shout: An Akwkward Life with Tourette’s,” the author narrates his experiences, misadventures, treatments, and diagnoses while sharing wisdom and philosophy from his journey.
Through his memoir, the author encourages readers to understand the ups and downs of living with this disease and to hopefully show them that life is still worth living despite its challenges.
Written like a collection of essays or taken from the pages from his own journal, Tyler Oberheu opens up about what it’s like to live with the symptoms of Tourette’s. While it can be difficult to discuss its realities, Oberheu bravely shares his journey to hopefully spread awareness and understanding about the disease and everything else that comes with it.
In “Twist and Shout,” the author thoughtfully injects a little humor as he shares his story to his readers. Despite being a sensitive topic, he proves that life should be lived with positivity. He begins by saying, “I am not the hero of this story. I am not a positive role model or an expert on this disease or a life coach. Simply, I am just a guy with a lot of spare time and some things to say. My name is Tyler Oberheu, and I have Tourette’s syndrome.”
Writing candidly and honestly as he could, he successfully finished writing the book for about three and a half months. He details these things wonderfully, positively, and heartwarmingly knowing that the only way to fully narrate his journey is through the words that come straight from his heart.
Through his memoir, Oberheu encourages readers to understand the ups and downs of living with Tourette’s Syndrome and to hopefully show them that life is still worth living despite its challenges. Reaching out to a wider audience, he is set to share his story in the upcoming Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on April 13-14, 2019 at the University of Southern California. Be sure not to miss it!
