WHEN YOU ARE DOWN - Book 5: The Personal Battles of Scientific Legends
Even the brightest minds had bad days.
This book shows how they turned them around.
Everyone feels down sometimes - even the people who went on to change the world. This inspiring collection shares the real-life struggles behind 15 of the most famous scientists and inventors in history.
Before they discovered vaccines, invented electricity, or unlocked the secrets of space and time, they faced fear, failure, rejection, and pain. But they didn't give up.
Meet:
Marie Curie, who pushed through heartbreak and illness to win two Nobel Prizes.
Albert Einstein, who was told he wouldn't succeed - and then redefined physics.
Stephen Hawking, who couldn't move or speak, but still taught the world about black holes.
Thomas Edison, who failed thousands of times before inventing the lightbulb.
Hedy Lamarr, a Hollywood star who quietly helped invent Wi-Fi.
Jonas Salk, who cured polio - and gave the vaccine to the world.
Each chapter is a true story of someone who struggled, kept going, and made something incredible - not because they were fearless, but because they didn't quit.
Perfect for:
Readers of all ages who need a boost of motivation
Students learning that failure is part of success
Parents, teachers, and mentors who want to share real-life inspiration
Anyone looking for stories of courage, hope, and perseverance
Whether you're facing a hard week or dreaming of something big, this book will remind you:
They were down.
They got back up.
And so can you.
