Clear, concise, compassionate Oct 04, 2009
By LGK
Excellent resource for friends, family and caregivers. The book is clear, concise and filled with the compassion and knowledge of one who has "been there, done that." Every page tells a story and/or provides useful how-to information that can actually be applied today, right now, by anyone who cares about someone with TBI or even another type of traumatic injury.

Everyone should read this Oct 04, 2009
By ngm
This book can help you in your survival of any life changing experience. Mark puts his personal experiences out there for all in an effort to help others become the best they can be by accepting their "new normal". The journey is much more complex than it would appear from the outside. As a parent and a nurse I have seen many instances where having realistic goals would make the journey an easier one. Kudos to Mark for writing such a wonderful guide for surviving whatever life may send your way.

A must read for the patient, friend or family of a life altering illness or injury. Oct 10, 2009
By Cheated death three times
"Fran"
I wish I could have read this book 15 years ago; my life would be much different today. Mark's grasp of the denial and reality of a catastrophic or life threatening illness or injury surpasses TBI and is applicable to any major life altering illness or injury. An easy read, and a book to be shared with all, Mark's words are from the heart and his personal experience makes a profound effect on the reader. I highly recommend it as a gift for friends and family faced with the challenges and anguish of a serious health issue. It quickly becomes a grounding reference for dealing with the difficult journey of healing and recovery for the patient and everyone involved with the patient.

A "must" read! Oct 07, 2009
By Christopher Lancashire
"M.B.Larkin"
This book is a "must" read for everybody. You may think it just has to do with traumatic brain injury when in fact I think this book is a broad and necessary tool to handle life's curve balls. This book takes a very realistic approach to a new beginning not only for the patient but all those that are a part of it. It is a journey of discovery while giving you the tools to live a life of success and satisfaction even when your faced with significant illness or injury directly or indirectly. This book should be in "every" hospital waiting room, as well as distributed among doctors, social workers,
health care providers, victims, and their family and friends.
