About this product
Product Information
This is a book about living with Alzheimer's, not dying with it. It is a book about hope, faith, and humor--a prescription far more powerful than the conventional medication available today to fight this disease. Alzheimer's is the sixth leading cause of death in the US--and the only one of these diseases on the rise.More than 5 million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or a related dementia; about 35 million people worldwide.

"Told with extraordinary vulnerability, grace, humor, and profound insight, On Pluto is an intimate look inside the mind of Greg O'Brien, a journalist diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer's. But the real gem of On Pluto lies in its unflinching look inside Greg's heart. If you're trying to understand what it feels like to live with Alzheimer's, and you are because you're reading these words, then you need to read this book." --Lisa Genova, New York Times best-selling author of Still Alice "In On Pluto, Greg O'Brien has given us a priceless gift: an honest, funny, heartbreaking, and powerfully poignant look into the world of an Alzheimer's sufferer, written by a man who suffers from it himself. Greg O'Brien is a brilliant observer and superb writer, and he is at the top of his game in this book. It's as if he has willingly dropped himself into a mental tornado so that he can tell us what it looks like from inside. You have never read a book quite like it, and probably never will again." --William Martin, New York Times best-selling author of Cape Cod, Back Bay, and The Lincoln Letter "Greg O'Brien writes with the consummate knowledge of a guide and the courage of a pioneer. In this important and transcendent book he serves both roles as he folds back the veils of fear and traverses the treacherous territory of early-onset Alzheimer's. On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer's glows with honesty, intelligence and compassion and, given the subject, is a surprisingly spirit-renewing book." --Anne D. LeClaire, author of best-selling Listening Below The Noise, Leaving Eden, and The Lavender Hour "Never before have we been offered such a clear understanding of how Alzheimer's disease effects day-to-day perceptions. Greg O'Brien's first-hand account of his own disease process will force us all to rethink the way we deliver care, and is a must addition to the libraries of all professional and family caregivers." --Suzanne Faith, RN psych, Clinical Director, Hope Dementia & Alzheimer's Services " On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer's is destined to become a vital resource that Alzheimer's organizations and senior centers across the country will turn to in assisting those with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Greg O'Brien's personal battle against Alzheimer's is an everyman's fight; he is the quintessence of the lead character in the epic New York Times best-selling Alzheimer's novel, Still Alice. O'Brien, through faith, humor and journalistic grit, is able, like the master artist, to paint a compelling, naked work picture of this progressive, chronic disease for which there is no cure, and a sickness that will swamp a generation. This is not a misery memoir; O'Brien bluntly offers the Baby Boomers and generations to come a riveting guide in how to live with Alzheimer's, not accede to it." --Alisa M. Galazzi, co-founder of Dementia Care Academy, former Executive Director, Alzheimer's Services of Cape & Islands, "Told with extraordinary vulnerability, grace, humor, and profound insight, On Pluto is an intimate look inside the mind of Greg O'Brien, a journalist diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer's.

One of my best transactions. Great communication. Owner described DVD correctly and even has a description of it attached to the DVD. Price was perfect and DVD arrived in good condition. When I played it, it was in perfect shape.
