Brain diseases, head injuries and age-related changes can affect our behavior, destroy personality and distort memory. What does a person feel and how does he perceive reality when a disease affects different areas of his brain? What parts of our "I" remain with us even when so much is gone? How does normal life change when our “main processor” starts to fail? And how do you know if something is wrong? Neurophysiologist Barbara Lipska devoted her life to studying the work of the central nervous system in mental disorders, but one day mental disorders began in her herself (the cause was metastatic melanoma of the brain). Being an experienced specialist, Barbara tried to analyze what was happening to her, did not give up, did not give up. She not only successfully coped with a debilitating illness and returned to research activities and triathlon competitions, but also shared her unique experience with readers, showing each stage of the changes that took place with her. The book, written by Barbara in collaboration with journalist Elaine McArdle, is dedicated not only and not so much to the fight against a serious illness. This is a very sincere, exciting and inspiring story about courage, love, overcoming difficulties, support, understanding and acceptance of oneself.
