About this audiobook
"Brain Dance" is a medical memoir, an Amazon number best-seller, and winner of multiple awards including "No. 1 Best Nonfiction Book of the Year" and "No. 1 Best True Drama."
People describe "Brain Dance" as a book on neuroscience that reads like a novel -- one that’s hard to put down. It's for anyone who loves learning about the brain, has even had a bump on the head, or has felt totally lost in life, for any reason, and needs to start over.
Narrated by the author, Diane Wilson shares her journey through random and sometimes humorous events of having an invisible illness, how her brain kept this injury even from herself, the loss of focus and sense of self, an obsession with day trading retirement funds, and the alternative therapies that helped heal her brain -- a retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh, acupuncture, learning to sing, and, most centrally, neurofeedback.
“Brain Dance” is candid, intimate, and always a gentle teacher. You will laugh, cry and learn your way through Diane's often-stumbling journey from moderate concussion to now working on the forefront of applied neuroscience.
She will challenge everything you know about the brain, what it can mean to be injured and how to help yourself and others become all you were meant to be.
Drawing from deep threads of wisdom from her family, Buddhism, music, and science, she advocates on behalf of brain health awareness for making the world a better place.
Reader Comment:
"Diane Wilson is a gifted writer. It read extremely well. I truly got a personal sense of what she went through with her concussions — and all the treatments. Learned plenty I never knew before.”
Jim Dwyer, MD, Broadcaster (MediBlurb.com) Horseman (personal concussion experience)
