Liz Bursten

A powerful new voice in personal transformation and resilience emerges with the release of Perspective Is Power: Overcoming Adversity and Embracing a Life Without Limits by Liz Bursten, available now in hardcover and paperback on Amazon. The highly anticipated eBook edition will launch on July 28, 2025.

In her debut memoir, Liz Bursten shares her extraordinary journey of loss, grit, and triumph — from surviving a catastrophic car accident and the life-altering loss of her leg, to completing her first marathon and rediscovering joy through family, fitness, and fierce determination. Perspective Is Power is not just a story of survival — it’s a roadmap for anyone who wants to break through limitations and reclaim agency over their life.

Bursten’s inspiring perspective is grounded in real-life challenges, but her message is one of hope, humor, and strength. “Adversity doesn’t get the last word — you do,” says Liz. “Your mindset can become your greatest tool for transformation.”

Living in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, Liz balances her role as a full-time professional in process improvement at a top-ten global pharmaceutical company with the joyful chaos of family life — alongside her husband Spencer and their three young sons, Gordon, Teddy, and Jackson. Her personal journey, marked by physical setbacks and powerful comebacks, drives her passion for advocating in the adaptive community and beyond.

Through writing, public speaking, and community engagement, Liz is committed to helping others see what’s possible — no matter the circumstance. With heartfelt storytelling and practical wisdom, Perspective Is Power resonates with readers seeking to overcome their own challenges and live more intentionally.

As a passionate voice for the adaptive community, she encourages others to rewrite their narratives and embrace a life without limits. When she's not passionately engaged in her work or treasuring moments with her family, Liz shares her story to inspire others to harness the power of perspective.
