Why people recommend it
Back From the Dead by Bill Walton is an inspiring memoir by the legendary basketball player detailing his intense personal struggles and triumphs while living with debilitating chronic pain. On an episode of The Daily Stoic in September 2022 titled Karen Duffy on Using Stoicism to Find Happiness (Even with Chronic Illness), guest Karen Duffy strongly recommended Bill Walton's remarkable book. She explained that it was precisely through reading this work that she gained vital insights and comfort regarding her own life with chronic physical pain, noting an immediate and profound sense of relief upon engaging with his honest narrative. Additionally, Greg Coles briefly discussed the publication on The Book Review during the July 2024 episode Inside The New York Times Book Review: ‘Spain in Our Hearts’, where he simply acknowledged that the former athlete had indeed authored a memoir bearing this title.
