Format:Paperback
This is an easy to read guide for both TBI sufferer and supporters.
It is written in an easy to read and understand format with a minimum of medical jargon.
Some tips are repeated-well there are 365 of them but the repeat justified in context with the chapter heading.
I found the chapter on tiredness and also on driving the most useful.
I recommend this quick read book.

From someone who needs all the help this book offers
22 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
This book is a great road map for people with brain injury and for families of people with brain injury. What this book does not do: It does not delve on the reasons how or why there is brain damage, or to the degree or extent of brain damage. It does not compare severe vs. mild brain damage. It does tell of all kinds of symptoms, many more than I personally have. Dr. Sullivan showed ways to get around them or ways to deal with them. But most importantly she showed me that one can learn to accept and live with brain damage. My life changed and I had no direction from the medical field. The doctors fixed the physical, but then left me adrift. I read several books once my reading comprehension returned and not one of the books offered any solutions to fix or help. Dr. Sullivan's book is a no nonsense book with honest to goodness answers for ways to deal with every day issues, not only to help the person with a brain injury, but will also help the family of the brain injured understand what is happening and how to help. She also offers resources for all kinds of additional help that is available. This book is easy to read and will be used time & time again.

From One Who Knows...
16 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Many people do not understand the wide spectrum of results from brain injury...from the severe and most obvious to those who live day to day with moderate disabilities and their consequences. Many of the survival techniques in this book are directed to those who suffer from the subtle changes that are a disaster to the sufferer but hardly noticed by those surrounding them. Dr. Sullivan speaks to those of us who can function--just not as well as most of the population. She extends a helping hand to those of us who need her--those of us who keep our moderate symptoms a secret but still need help. It would also be a great tool kit for those suffering "normal" memory loss in the aging process. My sincere thanks for this survival kit.

Clever ways to learn to be clever again
30 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
There are few injuries more traumatic than brain injuries. Not to be able to find just the right word at just the right time can be...devastating.
This book will teach you tricks for how to cope. Much of it consists in learning to plan, to take notes, and to organize, organize, and organize again so you can regain your life.
I would like to point out also that this book would be of extreme value to any caregivers. Sometimes it can be difficult to persuade someone with brain injuries to read a book like this. Even so, this book will show you how to help your loved one.
