There is a particular kind of fear that arrives when the brain is involved. People can face heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, and even cancer with a grim determination, but when the doctor begins to speak about the brain, something changes in the room.

It is the place where our sense of self seems to live.

ما أحببته في هذا الكتاب هو ارتكازه على مراجعة متأنية للأدبيات الطبية وتقديمه بأسلوب يتيح للجميع فهمه. وما أحببته على وجه الخصوص أنه كتاب عظيم يعطي الأمل؛ فيعطينا الأمل بأنه لا يتعين علينا قضاء آخر سنوات حياتنا ونحن لا نميز بين أسماء أطفالنا أو حتى لا نعرفها، ولا نميز بين أقرب أصدقائنا أو أزواجنا، ونصبح في نهاية المطاف عالة بالكامل على شخص آخر يتولى العناية بكل متطلباتنا. يقدم هذا الكتاب ما هو أكثر من مجرد أمل في هزيمة الخرف، فهو يتشارك الأمل في تقديم حياة خالدة. في خاتمة الكتاب، وبعد مشاركته رحلة السيدة “ديل” مع مرض ألزهايمر معنا، يروي الدكتور فيرمان قصة زوج السيدة “ديل” قبل وفاتها بعدة سنوات.
