Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Personal stories add inspiration
The personal stories sprinkled throughout the book add a layer of comfort and inspiration. Hearing from other caregivers who have walked this path reminds you that you're not alone, and that it’s okay to feel both pride and frustration along the way. Their insights are invaluable and bring a sense of community to the often isolating world of caregiving.

Living Healthy from Darkness to light
My mom has Dementia, which makes it very hard for her to live life as she dreamed about. Understanding Dementia is crucial because dementia prevents people from living longer. My mom started to lose memory, which made things very difficult to focus on. Dementia is something that starts to destroy their memory, but with the audiobook, I got tips and a lot of knowledge on how to overcome dementia. I learned that there are medicines and things that my mom can do to slow down the illness so they can live as long as they can. The narrator is clear, and it's perfect for the story.
