Gift of Dyslexia book cover

What the cover says :

Like other dyslexics, Ronald D. Davis was gifted with an unusual talent for creativity and imagination...yet, he grew up wondering why he couldn't function in the right school, where teachers labeled him "retarded".

After numerous failures and setbacks, he eventually became an engineer, a businessman, and a sculptor - and at the age of 38, made a startling discovery that enabled him to read a book, cover to cover, in just a few hours.
