Is it possible to change your thoughts and see possibilities rather than limitations? Is it possible to change your perspective on your life’s greatest problems? This is what Morten Bonde investigates in his book Sentenced to Blindness – Now What? A Journey from Hopelessness Street to Possibility Road.
With research into the human mind, the practice of mindfulness behavior and meditation, and four challenges in four months to reprogram his subconscious mind, he shares how he decided to become greater than his greatest life-challenge: BLINDNESS!
Morten Bonde has an eye condition that is slowly making him go blind. In 2016, his vision was so severely reduced that his life couldn’t continue as before. It had been all go with a family and a career as senior art director at the LEGO Group. Then his whole world collapsed. But when everything was at its bleakest, he experienced a sudden clarity for how to regain zest for life and emerge from the darkness stronger than ever before. He succeeded in returning from hopelessness to regaining a positive and indomitable view of life.
”I found a process that turned my fading vision into clarity. I turned a weakness into a strength. That process can be copied by anyone for any challenge in life”.

    So much on-site to the emotions of becoming blind and current challenges. Plus anticipation of future challenges. Good read for non blind person to help understand their child, partner, parent friend or other people in their lives. I am not VI but do have several people in my life who are. This was very helpful and hopeful.

    Writing a memoir about blindness is extremely challenging because, well, blindness is challenging. I was very excited to read this book because I too, am legally blind. At first, I felt like I was reading a James Bond novel on cruise control. But once I arrived at the chapters going into the power of the mind and positive thinking, the memoir kind of disappeared into the void. I couldn’t finish the book. Maybe I will later. I just wanted to know his life journey and not what he has researched. Howevver, I applaud the author for finding his peace with his vision and the challenges it accompanies. It’s not easy but it’s doable.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2021
    I absolutely loved this book. I am the mother of an 18-year-old who is legally blind with a degenerative eye disease. I am also a long-term mindfulness practitioner. What I loved most about this book is how Morten shared his heart and struggles along with very clear practical steps. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very inspiring book
    Reviewed in Germany on September 9, 2020

    I could very much relate to the personal story, all the limiting beliefs sounded very familiar. I highly recommend reading the book „sentenced to blindness - now what“ to anyone who is craving to make a change in their lives but doesn’t exactly know how to start or put it into practice. Even if going blind is not your personal struggle, you will definitely benefit from it. I personally have already read several great inspirational books, but this one sort of serves as a road map and gives you insight into which steps exactly to take in order to reprogram your subconscious mind and subsequently change your life.
    As a nice bonus it also has an intriguing storyline and is a very entertaining read.
    Enjoy!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Much Needed Positivity
    Reviewed in Canada on January 9, 2021

    After hearing about this book I purchased it (about 3 months ago) and didn't read it right way out of the fear of what I'd be confronting. Once I started reading it though I couldn't put it down. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with same disease (Retinitis Pigmentosa) and like the author it came right at the height of my career as I was entering mid life. I can so very much relate to the feelings of fear and dread about what the future holds. Fear over how the encroaching darkness will affect my marriage, my kids...how I will cope with the loss of independence. He writes about exactly what I've been experiencing and writes about exactly what I need to hear; the positivity of possibility.
    This is a book that encourages anyone who is dealing with a life altering disease. The author does not hold back when discussing the reality of the hard times and that just adds to the message of positivity and hope that permeates the book. I highly recommend to anyone coping with a life altering disease and also to anyone who knows someone who is.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An uplifting read!
    Reviewed in Canada on September 18, 2020

    Morten is a brave, strong man who decided that blindness would not prevent him from living and loving life.

    He learned that he may not have the power to control a medical condition causing him to lose his eyesight, but that he COULD choose his attitude towards it, that would direct the path of the rest of his life.

    Morten’s story and his understanding of the ways that we can re-program our way of thinking are valuable and applicable to everyone, not only those facing vision loss.

    This book provides hope and concrete strategies for self improvement that everyone can benefit from.

    I recommend the read!
