THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ‚Essential reading‘ SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE ‚ A book of hope‘ OBSERVER ‚A marvellous tour of insights‘ THE TIMES ‚A must-read . . . I couldn’t recommend it higher‘ MICHAEL BALL ‚Wendy Mitchell is a life-saver‘ FRANCES WILSON, AUTHOR OF BURNING MAN 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 fifty-eight, her brain was overwhelmed with images of the last stages of the disease – those familiar tropes, shortcuts and clich�s 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 readers exactly what she wishes they knew about dementia.
