On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer's

This is a book about living with Alzheimerâ€™s, not dying with it. It is a book about hope, faith, and humorâ€”a prescription far more powerful than the conventional medication available today to fight this disease.

Alzheimerâ€™s is the sixth leading cause of death in the USâ€”and the only one of these diseases on the rise.
More than 5 million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimerâ€™s or a related dementia; about 35 million people worldwide.

Greg Oâ€™Brien, an award-winning investigative reporter, has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's and is one of those faceless numbers. Acting on long-term memory and skill coupled with well-developed journalistic grit, Oâ€™Brien decided to tackle the disease and his imminent decline by writing frankly about the journey. Oâ€™Brien is a master storyteller. His story is naked, wrenching, and soul searching for a generation and their loved ones about to cross the threshold of this death in slow motion. On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimerâ€™s is a trail-blazing roadmap for a generationâ€”both a â€œhow toâ€ for fighting a disease, and a â€œhow notâ€ to give up!
