このコンテンツについて
This book will inspire anyone who is recovering from a stroke, and provide support for family members.
“Strokes are the third-leading cause of death in America, and for the ‘lucky’ stroke victims who don’t die, about half will spend the rest of their lives trying to recover.” Roughly 700,000 American suffer a stroke each year and around 140,000 of them are fatal. Different Strokes is an in-depth look at what surviving, or not surviving, a stroke can mean. And Steven Boorstein should know—at age 52, he suffered a stroke after a hit on the ski slopes of Vail. Part-memoir, part-how-to, Steven Boorstein’s book will help you to recover from a stroke, whether you were the victim of one or had to watch a loved one suffer.
Dividing the book into three distinct sections, Boorstein first focuses on his personal experience with a stroke, how he recovered, and his controversial use of medical marijuana to help resurrect his damaged mind and wracked body. The second part of this book explores how others have dealt with a stroke. Hear first-hand from stroke survivors and their loved ones about what effect a stroke had on their marriage, sex life, careers, relationships (with children, relatives, strangers), and more. The finale of the book covers tools and helpful resources—therapies, therapeutic tools, and exercises; organizations for survivors; and key words—for people who have had a stroke, been diagnosed as being at risk, or for those whose loved ones are at risk or are recovering. This is an essential book for anyone who’s ever had, or been hurt by, a stroke.

In this intimate memoir, American author and motivational speaker Steven Boorstein shares his personal experience of suffering and surviving a stroke at the age of 52. In part one, Boorstein - who was in good health when an accident triggered a stroke - outlines his recovery process. Next, he examines how others have dealt with stroke, and how it affected their family lives, relationships, and their careers. The final section provides resources for survivors and their loved ones, including therapies, exercises, and pertinent organizations. Alan Robertson’s soothing voice creates a healing atmosphere that elevates Boorstein’s message.
