If you ask a Finn, they will likely be as baffled as you are. That’s why Melanie Dower, an expat who has been living in Finland for the past decade, has taken up the charge. Her vantage as an outsider entrenched in Finnish culture uniquely positions her to identify the keys to Finnish happiness that elude the rest of the world and that Finns take for granted. From sauna to strong social safety nets, Finnish life is made up of a constellation of habits and structures that leave its residents relaxed, healthy, and fulfilled.

Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

Rewind and Re-Listen. So comprehensive
I'm so appreciative I had the opportunity to listen to this audiobook. It's not only well written, but the honesty and vulnerability was showcased in this book. You can honestly feel the author's experience and knowledge shared in this book. It covers the patient's situation but also the caregiver's emotions and what he/she goes through during these times. Every example and scenario is covered. As a caretaker, whether you're feeling overwhelmed or preparing yourself for the future, this is a good book to re-read/ re-listen. Such a good book to keep and cherish.

Great Dementia Guide
My father suffered from Alzheimer's and I did not know how to handle it well. He has passed away since and I wish I had this book to read during that time. The author has done a wonderful job of educating the public about dementia and how to properly handle it. Understanding the disease and how it affects the brain is the first step. You will learn how to handle aggressive dementia patients and their possible depression without getting burnout. You have to also take care of yourself. I highly recommend this book.

Great Information I Need Right Now!
This is a book that, although I could have used to help with my wife's Parkinson's battle, I am now involved with a 95-year-old father with dementia. While he is now in the hospital after a recent fall, this book has helped me understand a lot more about the disease and about my reactions to it. It gives me options to consider and explains the many situations that my brother and I are scrambling to understand and deal with. There are no easy answers, but this book can help you better deal with a challenging situation and not be consumed by it. I highly recommend it.

Good overview with practical help
This book helped me better understand my dad’s condition, and to offer support to my mom, his primary caregiver. I found several practical ideas to help engage him more, and I appreciated how it offers self-care advice for caregivers. I feel more equipped now and eager to learn even more.

A Must Read for Caregivers
I recommend this book for anyone that is caring for someone with dementia, particularly if the person you are caring for is a loved one.
The author provides both factual information as well as personal experiences that caregivers (or potential caregivers) can utilize in managing those with dementia. The book covers a wide range of topics related to this affliction, including diagnosis, treatment approaches, and caregiving strategies.
This book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to better understand and support those afflicted with this terrible malady.
