Resumen del Editor

Bloomsbury presents What I Wish People Knew About Dementia by Wendy Mitchell, read by Wendy Mitchell.

What can a diseased brain tell us about being human, living our own lives better and helping those with dementia get the best from theirs?

When Wendy Mitchell was diagnosed with young-onset dementia at the age of 58, her brain was overwhelmed with images of the last stages of the disease - those familiar tropes, shortcuts and clichés that we are fed by the media, or even our own health professionals.

But her diagnosis far from represented the end of her life. Instead, it was the start of a very different one.

Wise, practical and life affirming, What I Wish People Knew About Dementia combines anecdotes, research and Wendy Mitchell’s own brilliant wit and wisdom to tell listeners exactly what she wishes they knew about dementia.

"This little book is full of wisdom, honesty and warmth. It taught me so much about what it's like to live with dementia and what it means to be part of a community. I've already recommended it to so many people as an absolutely essential read." (Jan Carson)
