From the gangs on the streets of Western Sydney to sustaining a life-changing injury in Far North Queensland, Paul Innes' life has been an extreme but inspiring rock and rollercoaster ride.

Thirty-four years after an accident that left him a quadriplegic, Paul is living his best life.  What would have broken most people was the making of Paul Innes. Instead of being weakened by his injury, it empowered him in diverse ways.

Having successfully created a sanctuary that brought back from the abyss, four of Queensland's frogs that were thought to be missing, he now searches for the next property that he will turn into a self-sufficient resort-style sanctuary.

His prosperous business, a disability care service, now runs independently of him while he records with his band and does hilarious skits for his sit-down comedy. Indeed, Paul has led a remarkable and widely influential, contributory life.

In his autobiography, Paul reminds you that you can do anything you can imagine in this world. Drawing on his very different life experiences, replete with awe-inspiring highs and heart-shattering lows, Paul challenges and inspires you to enjoy the infinite strength of your own spirit and life, while being buoyed and empowered by his.


Industry Reviews

Make or Break: The Extraordinary Life of Paul Innes by Paul Innes is a deeply inspirational and uplifting autobiography by a man who has been through the worst that life can throw at us and comes out the other side with a grin the size of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. Make or Break is a testament to the indomitability of the human spirit. Despite the tough cards dealt to Paul so early in his life, he manages to ï¬nd joy and peace in living through the power of his spirit and his deep love for humanity and nature. Paul Innes is the epitome of that expression, "the little Aussie battler".

He was never prepared to accept that his injury and subsequent conï¬nement to a wheelchair was going to destroy his love of life, his love of the country, and his love of people. What I particularly appreciated was Paul's understanding and concept of the power of the Universe and the ability of human beings to create with the power of their thoughts and feelings, a viewpoint on life that dovetails so well with my own. I also found his concept of astral travel fascinating. I loved the last few chapters of this book where Paul expounds more deeply on his philosophy of life and also gives the readers some excellent short, pithy lines from his poetry that are truly words to remember and live by. I was inspired by this book and I know many others will be also. This is the ï¬rst of what I hope will be many more of his books and I reveled in his words. I can highly recommend Make or Break.5-star Readers' Favourite Review by Grant Leishman

Make or Break is the story of a man who has done everything to enjoy life despite adversities. Make or Break is inspirational and is focused on spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical healing. Paul Innes narrates to us all the stages he had to go through. He tells of his diï¬culties but does not linger on them, using them only as a guide to understanding how to overcome them. The narrative style is ï¬uid and entertaining. I loved the photographs because you can see a lot of happiness in every moment. In them, we see his family and friends in diverse places. In addition, Paul shares the satisfaction of helping others because he is involved in inspiring projects for the good of society. Paul has many stories to tell, and Make or Break will inspire you to follow your own dreams as he did.5-star Readers' Favourite Review by Diana Lopez

Paul Innes describes crucial experiences from his amazing life in Make or Break: The Extraordinary Life of Paul Innes, from lovely moments spent with friends, to disputes with others, daring escapades, and wholesome relationships. Even though an awful accident rendered him a quadriplegic at the age of 20, he did not allow this terrible circumstance to prevent him from leading an active life. Paul's autobiography includes amazing information about his many achievements, such as founding refuges for both humans and wildlife (including four nearly extinct frogs), establishing the ï¬rst advocacy company in Cairns for individuals with disabilities, and providing care services to others.

The book's examination of spirit travel expanded my consciousness to new heights. It features remarkable tales of intriguing persons with ties to the spirit world, such as a witch who assisted the author with a complex problem, as well as the author's in-depth explanation of what spirit travel provides. The book has no dull moments since it blends a variety of subjects and emotions to produce an amusing, informative, and motivating reading experience. I'm thrilled about the fresh possibilities that this work has opened up for me, both in the material world and the spiritual realm. 5-star readers' Favorite Review by Foluso Falaye
