This was a very good book if you are looking to understand Parkinson's disease. It is also a book that gives hope in helping/curing people with this awful disease. It details very extensive research and I think that all neurologists should read this book. It has essential information that could help thousands of people suffering from Parkinson's. As a layperson some of it was a little beyond my understanding, but it still gave me a very good grasp of the disease and the research that could change Parkinson's as we know it. Excellent reading!

Hi everyone!

This book was very interesting... I'm hopefully going into med school this year and I love learning about the brain and diseases that we haven't fully understood yet. In fact, this book actually inspired and motivated me to study :).

'Brain Fables' is divided into two points of view: one that analyzes the discovery of Parkinson's and its research and the other one: a middle aged man that got diagnosed and his journey through acceptance and hope in new treatments (using both eastern and western medicine).

I understand this book might not be for anyone, but if you're interested in medicine or even Parkinson's disease in particular, you should definitely read this book

As someone who studied neurodegenerative disease in graduate school, this book was a good reminder that there is no standard treatment with the vastly diverse symptoms. This defines the medical practictioner's approach should be individualized for each patient.
