We borrowed this book from a support group and decided we would like to have it as a reference at our disposal when needed, so we purchased it from Amazon. It has proved very helpful to us to be able to refer to it. It really tells it like it is in respect to daily life, in language you can understand, which is what it's all about.

This is a great book for MTBI that are high-level, but it does nothing for a person with a moderate to severe brain injury.

I know Larry personally and have heard him tell the amazing story of he and his wife. It's incredible to see his story now in print! He and his wife are class acts and very personable. Their concern for others with brain injuries is very obvious and the thing that impresses me the most is that I know they have a very keen and sincere empathy for brain injury survivors... -- Best Regards, Curtis Arnold [...]Author of "How You can Profit from Credit Cards" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0132353776 (FT Press, 2008) Coauthor of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Person-to-Person Lending" http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Person-Person-Lending/dp/1592578829 (Penguin, 2009)

This book was just what I needed to help me understand what my son is going through and how I may be better able to help him. Thank you so much Larry & Beth!! It's only been 8 months but he's doing great and I love the lists the book uses to help keep things organized and remembered. I also love your website! For anyone who is going through TBI or any form of brain injury this book is a must.

You're having a pretty typical day: work is progressing as usual, you make casual conversation here and there, you begin to look forward to your favorite TV shows later that evening... All of a sudden, you feel a sharp, flashing sensation, you become dizzy & disoriented, and the next thing you know you're waking up in a hospital bed surrounded by friends & family. Over the next few days, doctors and nurses check on your regularly, assuring you that you're improving nicely, that you'll be going home soon, and that you're going to be just fine... But you're not fine at all. Soon you begin having difficulty reading simple sentences & phrases. Key facts and information - such as your husband's birthday or your anniversary - escape your memory. Cooking a meal for yourself becomes nearly impossible. You even have trouble seeing things in your peripheral vision... Welcome to the world of over 5 million people in the United States with a long-term or lifelong need for help related to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). From stroke victims to war veterans to athletes recovering from multiple concussions, TBI survivors often look as normal as their healthy counterparts, but their lives are anything but, and in Brain Injury Survivor's Guide Larry & Beth Jameson provide detailed insight into exactly what makes their daily experiences such a challenge. Make no mistake, though: their informative self-help guide does not serve as a de facto pity party designed to remind TBI survivors of just how discouraged they should feel about their conditions. Rather, as survivors themselves, the Jamesons do a commendable job of infusing hope, optimism, and courage into the hearts and minds of the numerous individuals whose lives have been thusly affected. With the constant reminder that their lives will never be what they once were, the Jamesons successfully provide TBI survivors with helpful tips and useful advice regarding the adoption of new daily routines, which will greatly assist in the survivors' acclimation to their new quality of life. The Jamesons even include a detailed list of professional organizations & associations that support TBI survivors with helpful programs and other useful opportunities. Coupled with their comprehensive suggestions for memory improvement and overcoming cognitive & behavioral difficulties, Brain Injury Survivor's Guide is a well-balanced, invaluable resource sure to benefit dozens - if not thousands - of individuals who may feel that they have nowhere to turn. Essential reading for those affected by TBI, as well as those who know someone that is or may be.
