"Arrowsmith-Young's poignant and uplifting book about her
transformation from a child born with severe learning disabilities
to a dynamic pioneer in cognitive education offers hope to anyone
who has ever struggled with a learning disorder, brain trauma, ADD
or stroke. By her own fierce determination and passionate desire to
learn, this remarkable woman changed her own brain and has since
helped countless others to change theirs. This is an important
book."
--Mira Bartók, New York Times bestselling author of The Memory
Palace
"If you have a son, a daughter, a parent, a spouse, or a brain,
this is a must-read book. It will open your mind to new
possibilities on how to deal with 'traffic jams in the brain.'"
--Alvaro Fernandez, CEO & Co-Founder, SharpBrains.com
"This is a poignant book about two people who connected across
continents and generations--a Canadian woman with an unusual
cognitive makeup, and the great Russian neuropsychologist Alexander
Luria whose writings gave Barbara Arrowsmith the tools to change
her own life and the lives of her many students. Moving, insightful
and empowering!"
--Elkhonon Goldberg, Ph.D., the author of The Wisdom Paradox and
The New Executive Brain
