As a psychologist specialising in court assessments, David Roland
often saw the toughest, most heartbreaking cases. The emotional
trauma had begun to take its toll - and then the global financial
crisis hit, leaving his family facing financial ruin. So when he
found himself in a local emergency ward with little idea of where
he was or how he got there, doctors wondered if he had had a
nervous breakdown - if the strain of treating individuals with
mental-health problems had become too much. Eventually they
discovered the truth: David had suffered a stroke, which had
resulted in brain injury. He faced two choices: give up or get his
brain working again. Drawing on the principles of neuroplasticity,
David set about re-wiring his brain. Embarking on a search that
brought him into contact with doctors, neuroscientists, yoga
teachers, musicians, and a Buddhist nun, he found the tools to
restore his sense of self: psychotherapy, exercise, music,
mindfulness, and meditation. How I Rescued My Brain is the story of
David's neurological difficulties and his remarkable cognitive
recovery. It is also an account of a journey to emotional health
and wellbeing. In the tradition of Marc Lewis's Memoirs of an
Addicted Brain and Jill Bolte Taylor's My Stroke of Insight, this
is an amazing tale of one man's resilience, and his determination
to overcome one of the most frightening situations imaginable - the
fear that he had lost his mind, and might not get it back.
