Living well with Parkinson's Disease. Essential reading for anyone diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, for managing the condition - delaying or even turning around any progression of symptoms, then maintaining personal health and wellbeing. The central theme is around building a positive mindset, and confidently taking control of the disease - living well 'with' it rather than living 'in' it. 'Leading the Dance' is inspirational, motivational and written in such a way as to be hard to put down - absorbed easily in a single reading, then useful to return to for ideas and maintaining motivation. For people coming to terms with the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, it could be a catalyst for change and a completely new outlook on life. It's also a great resource for carers or those that simply want to know more about living well with the disease. The focus is on healing, recovering to a degree, and then managing the condition through exercise, meditation, maintaining good nutrition and staying 'out there' in the world, as active and healthy as possible. The book moves between light hearted, good-humoured observations and metaphor-based descriptions of experiences with the disease, interwoven with narrative and summary suggestions for the reader. The emphasis is on encouragement and the development of resilience and self-belief.

Written for fellow Parkinson¿s patients, their families, and their friends, Keepin¿ On chronicles a life of love, loss, longing, work, sports, travel, friendship, and intimacy¿all against the backdrop of progressive Parkinson¿s disease.

Keepin¿ On defiantly rejects the initial prophecy¿the crippling of body and mind. It¿s one person¿s version of a condition that varies widely in its symptomatic expressions.
