About this product

Product Information

A hopeful look at coping with the ravages of serious chronic illness by an accomplished journalist, a contributing columnist for the New York Times, and former senior producer of the CBS Evening News Richard Cohen, a veteran journalist, has lived with multiple sclerosis for 30 years. Diagnosed with colon cancer twice in recent years, Cohen chronicles and celebrates a life brimming over with accomplishment and adversity, while struggling for emotional health. Autobiographical at its roots, reportorial, and expansive, Blindsided explores the effects of illness on raising three children and his relationship with wife Meredith Vieira (host of ABC's The View). He tackles the nature of denial and resilience and the redemptive effects of a loving family, and does so with grace, humor, and lyrical prose.

Inspiring book, good read. Articulate, witty author!
I have MS and it was helpful to hear how someone else with this illness has handled the trials of dealing with MS. The book is factual and accurate about someone's experience dealing with illness without any sugar coating or Pollyannish approaches. Richard is inspiring as an example to anyone coping with an unexpected illness in their lives. He tells us how he and his family deal with the challenges; his experience helps us face our own personal challenges.

Exceptional read
I discovered this book approximately 6 years ago, after being diagnosed with MS. I found several books in my library, and all had some helpful things, but this one was different. It simply resonated with me on such a deeply personal level. I even mentioned it to my doctor and he started telling his other MS patients about it. The book describes very accurately not just the physical side of living with an illness but also the emotional and everyday practical sides, as well. Not that other books didn't do that, but this particular book was truly inspirational to me, to the point that I actually purchased the book - which I know does not sound like a huge deal, but at the time finances were more than tight. I realize that not everyone responds to the same things, but this is definitely a book worth reading even if you don't have MS or cancer (which he also talks about).Read full review

Don't allow yourself to be blindsided
I bought this book for a class I was taking. The book comes across as the story of Meredith Veiria's husband's battle with Multiple Sclerosis. However, I found that the book focuses more on his complaints with the various news channels that he worked for because they weren't very accepting of his disease. I was hoping it would be more disease related than a gripe session.

Blindsided by Richard M Cohen
Richard Cohen was open about his journey with Multiple Sclerosis. He was honest, sometimes heartbreaking, other times, humorous. This book showed the reality of a person living with a chronic illness. I enjoyed reading it.
