TxAuBib The power of dyslexic thinking : how a learning disability shaped six successful careers / Robert W. Langston. Austin : Bridgeway Books, 2010. xiv, 122 p. ; 22 cm. n The Power of Dyslexic Thinking, Rob Langston shares the inspirational stories of people who overcame the hurdles of living with dyslexia to become influential business and cultural leaders. From Kinko’s founder Paul Orfalea to prominent financier Charles Schwab to Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Mike Peters, Langston profiles some of the biggest players in the business world and elsewhere to paint amazing portraits of courage and dedication.Through both research and personal experience, Langston has come to believe that dyslexia is not a condition that needs curing, but rather a greater understanding of the different capabilities and skills it can provide those who have it. He hopes that understanding more about the creative and intuitive benefits of dyslexia will allow educators and parents, as well as dyslexic children, to see dyslexia not as a disability, but as a gift. 20180208.
