Summary
Acclaimed writer, best-selling author, and founder of Salon magazine, David Talbot has brought us masterful and explosive headline-breaking stories for over 25 years with books like the New York Times best sellers Brothers, The Devil's Chessboard, and nationally recognized Season of the Witch. Now for the first time, journalist and historian Talbot turns inward in this intimate journey through the life-changing year following his stroke, a year that turned his life upside down, and ultimately, saved him.
In his signature voice and with powerful storytelling, Talbot examines the physical, emotional, and psychological impact his stroke has had on his identity. Along the way Talbot offers listeners insider stories on the wild early days of internet journalism, insights into the new tech culture, the down and dirty of Hollywood, and much more. This is an illuminating, often humorous, portrait of how a health crisis can truly shift one's perspective on life and purpose.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews
"Talbot demonstrates the conviction of someone who has been there and back and now knows what is really at stake...Inspiration for others facing similar challenges." (Kirkus Reviews)
"What makes this book so special is the complete absence of resentment and self-pity. This is a story beyond catharsis - it's a rebirth, a celebration, a hallucinatory and joyous examination of the aftermath of illness with love and gratitude infused on every page." (Susannah Cahalan, author of Brain on Fire and The Great Pretender)
"Touching, informative, sometimes funny, sometimes harrowing, I couldn't put it down." (Anne Lamott, New York Times best-selling author)
