My Stroke of Insight

I picked up this book to see whether it might be interesting from the perspective of a daughter of a stroke survivor or for the stroke survivor himself (my Dad). The first few sections are worthwhile, through the section describing the initial recovery process. However the second half of the book is a little too repetitive and goes less into stroke recovery or day-to-day alternatives and more into a bunch of new-agey stuff. That was a disappointment after how well the author interviews on NPR. All in all, it's just okay, unfortunately.

An fascinating testament to the resiliency of the human brain, and spirit.
