The NFL champion whose life inspired the hit movie The Blind Side is back with an inspiring and motivating book on overcoming any obstacle, no matter how tough the odds Millions of people became part of Michael Oher’s story when they watched a version of him on the big screen; read his memoir, I Beat the Odds; or cheered him on from the stands. After speaking to so many of them over the years, Oher knows that more than anything, people want to believe great things can happen, even when the situation looks bleak. His story of overcoming the toughest of odds serves as their hope. Oher’s life has had a lot of unexpected highs: a college degree; four beautiful, healthy children and a happy marriage; drafted in the first round; a Super Bowl victory; and a second chance to play in the “big game.” He’s also run up against quite a few walls: poverty, hunger, homelessness, struggles in school, bullying, job loss, brain injury, anxiety, and depression. What he knows now is that your wall can be your opportunity. In When Your Back’s Against the Wall, he offers encouragement and shows readers how to get back up—again, and again, and again.

This book examines the insights of a common man as he examines problems within our country and problems people most deal with on a daily basis. Did you know that our country is over $20 trillion in debt? The average American can’t even comprehend how many zeros that is. How did we accumulate that much debt, and how do seemingly intelligent people make similar life-altering mistakes in their personal lives? Why do people scream “Defund the police!” yet immediately dial 911 when it’s their own personal safety at risk? Why must government entities solve our personal problems? Are you capable of logical and rational thinking? Do you see yourself as being self-sufficient, resilient, and capable of solving your own problems? If so you, you have taken the first steps to independence, self-worth, and personal success. Are you willing to accept the challenges of thinking for yourself and being responsible for your own well-being and success? Do you object to your hard-earned money being wasted on taxes and government programs designed to make totally capable people dependent on the government and others? If you want an everyday workingman’s answers to these questions then take up the challenge, open the front cover, and let’s see what happens.
