Throughout, his optimism andamusing, self-deprecating sense of humor shine through. An excellent anduplifting story on accepting and coping with lifelong disabilities., A sumptuous read, as funny, erudite, andenergizing as a chat with a conversational intellectual, as engrossing andmoving as a medical detective drama...The book leaves all of us who've readit feeling a little stronger and brighter ourselves., Wildly quirky memoir of facing down his ferociousTourette's tics...Hanagarne's account manages to be very gag-full andtongue-in-cheek...highly engaging...Reconciled with Tourette's, Hanagarne never letthe disease get the upper hand., Throughout, Thorne reflects Hanagarne's droll wit--a coping mechanism for his Tourette's syndrome and life in general.

Synopsis
Josh Hanagarne couldn't be invisible if he tried. Although he wouldn't officially be diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome until his freshman year of high school, Josh was six years old and onstage in a school Thanksgiving play when he first began exhibiting symptoms. By the time he was twenty, the young Mormon had reached his towering adult height of 6'7" when-while serving on a mission for the Church of Latter Day Saints-his Tourette's tics escalated to nightmarish levels.Determined to conquer his affliction, Josh underwent everything from quack remedies to lethargy-inducing drug regimes to Botox injections that paralyzed his vocal cords and left him voiceless for three years. Undeterred, Josh persevered to marry and earn a degree in Library Science. At last, an eccentric, autistic strongman-and former Air Force Tech Sergeant and guard at an Iraqi prison-taught Josh how to "throttle" his tics into submission through strength-training.Today, Josh is a librarian in the main branch of Salt Lake City's public library and founder of a popular blog about books and weight lifting-and the proud father of four-year-old Max, who has already started to show his own symptoms of Tourette's. 'The World's Strongest Librarian' illuminates the mysteries of this little-understood disorder, as well as the very different worlds of strongman training and modern libraries. With humor and candor, this unlikely hero traces his journey to overcome his disability-and navigate his wavering Mormon faith-to find love and create a life worth living., At first glance, Josh Hanagarne seems an improbable librarian. He stands 6'7," competes in strongman contests, and was diagnosed in high school with Tourette's syndrome. But books are his first love--Josh's earliest memories involve fantastic adventures between the pages of Gulliver's Travels and a passionate infatuation with Fern from Charlotte's Web. Everything in Josh's life--from his Mormon upbringing, to finally finding love, to learning to control his tics through lifting--circles back to a close connection with books. Today, Josh is a librarian at the Salt Lake City Public Library, founder of a popular blog about books and weight lifting--and the proud father of four-year-old Max, who has already started to show his own symptoms of Tourette's.The World's Strongest Librarian illuminates the mysteries of this little-understood disorder as well as the very different worlds of strongman training and modern libraries.
