After Stroke by
David M. Hinds is a timely and very resonant book that gives practical guidance
on recovery from stroke. While more than 795,000 people in the United States
have a stroke every year and the deaths resulting from stroke are alarming,
this book offers a message of hope — stroke should not upend anyone’s life.
This book is a survival and healing guide for persons who have experienced a
stroke, written by a victim who survived and who is thriving.
In this book, David M. Hinds shares the techniques he used
to heal from stroke and the book includes a simplified systematic guide to
complete recovery. The author writes brilliantly about stress management,
building and maintaining a positive attitude toward life, and resilience.
Readers will know why they need to take the steps outlined in this book,
establish the balance between exercises and rest, and understand the link
between their emotions and the healing journey, and a lot more. In addition to
providing techniques for recovery from stroke, this book offers a comprehensive
understanding of stroke and why it happens, providing advice on where and how
to find the best help and successfully work with professionals.
Hinds writes in clear and engaging prose and in a voice that
is authoritative and compassionate at the same time. The book brilliantly
covers the most important aspect of the experience and highlights the pain
after the stroke and the emotions that follow —frustration, anger, and more.
The author shares insights into handling these emotions and using them to grow.
After Stroke is a powerful resource
for anyone who has experienced a stroke and those who take care of them. Hinds punctuates
the writing with intelligently designed diagrams to make understanding easier
and show readers what they need to do. This informative, useful tool is a book
with a message that will transform lives broken by stroke, a rare gift for
victims and their caregivers. This book shows readers how to use the experience
of stroke as an opportunity for personal growth.
