About this book

A diagnosis can change your life. Where it will take you is entirely your choice.I reach out to greet her,and she shakes my hand. “Parkinson’s. Go get checked,” she says. When she sees my angry expression, she adds, “Sometimes a weak handshake can be a sign of Parkinson’s. But don’t take my word for it—I could be wrong.”A simple handshake with a stranger at a café sends author Uri Strisover on a transformative journey through a Parkinson’s diagnosis. Suddenly, all the things in life that Uri took for granted seem to be just out of his reach: Walking up the street. Playing with his grandkids. Holding a pen.Ever a man of words, Strisover’s The Parkinson’s Diaries encapsulates the first thirteen years he spent alongside Parkinson’s: a world filled with challenges and uncertainty, but also full of hope, discovery, and life-affirming emotional insights that pour out of every chapter. From rediscovering his agency over his lifestyle to winning the battle against depression (by learning to embrace the small comforts of his family and friends), The Parkinson’s Diaries is a testament to the rejuvenating power of the human spirit.
