The World's Strongest Librarian: A Book Lover's Adventures

The World's Strongest Librarian: A Book Lover's Adventures

A funny and uplifting story of how a Mormon kid with Touretteâ€™s found salvation in books and weight liftingÂ

Josh Hanagarne couldnâ€™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 when he first began exhibiting symptoms. When he was twenty and had reached his towering height of 6â€™7â€, his tics escalated to nightmarish levels. Determined to conquer his affliction, Josh tried countless remedies, with dismal results. At last, an eccentric, autistic strongman taught Josh how to â€œthrottleâ€ his tics into submission using increasingly elaborate feats of strength. What started as a hobby became an entire way of lifeâ€”and an effective way of managing his disorder.

Today, Josh is a librarian at Salt Lake Cityâ€™s public library and founder of a popular blog about books and weight liftingâ€”and the proud father of five-year-old Max. Funny and offbeat, The Worldâ€™s Strongest Librarian traces this unlikely hero as he attempts to overcome his disability, find love, and create a life worth living.
