I’ve lived with multiple sclerosis since 2002. I spent a decade caring for a wife dying of cancer. I've been through all the pain, stress, fear & challenges you would think are part of that journey — and, with a chronic condition, those challenges never end.
Half of all Americans face the challenges of chronic health conditions everyday. We feel alone and misunderstood. Healthcare wants to just give us a pill or cut something out and send us back to our lives like we’re “normal.” We know it’s not that simple. Our illnesses affect every part of our lives and there’s not much help for our real life needs. People mean well, but they don’t know how to help. Our healthcare system, focused on “fixing” people and moving on to the next case, often makes things worse.
But I’m also a scientist. I’ve spent my life studying people. I thought there has to be something I could do to help others improve their lives.

So I’ve spent years doing the research, analyzing the data, and talking with real people. I found a better way. It saved my life — and many others. That’s what this book is about: the right tools to help us live good lives in the face of health conditions that never end, based on real science and the compassion of actually living it.
We may have diagnoses, but we can still live well.
Support the book for yourself, if you live with a chronic diagnosis, or support it in honor of someone you love who’s also living these challenges.
I’ve devoted my life to finding and sharing what really works to improve lives touched by chronic illness, and I need your help to continue that mission.
