Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Dr. Mike Dow, best-selling author and expert on brain health, psychology, and relationships, along with his brother David, a stroke survivor, present a practical guide to stroke recovery in Healing the Broken Brain. This book features interviews with top experts and stroke specialists.

Dr. Mike Dow is a best-selling author, psychotherapist, and relationship expert. So why is he writing a book about stroke?

What you probably don't know about Dr. Mike is that his younger brother, David, is a stroke survivor. David's stroke happened when he was only 10 years old. This means much of Dr. Mike's teenage years were spent witnessing what his family faced while trying to find the best treatments for David. He struggled to know what to do to help his brother. He watched helplessly as David wrestled with depression, trying to find the motivation to recover amidst the challenges of adolescence. He mourned the loss of what could have beenβ€”and he was angry.

How his family would have loved to sit down with top experts in stroke treatment to find out what they should be doing and have their questions answered. Now, Dr. Mike has the ability to do just that, and he's doing it so that others in his family's position don't have the same struggle.

Armed with questions from stroke survivors and their loved ones, Dr. Mike talks with the best clinicians to get over 100 answers you need to know to maximise your recovery.
