Rebooting My Brain

How a Freak Aneurysm Reframed My Life

By: Maria Ross

Narrated by: Maria Ross

Rebooting My Brain is the true story of what happens when you get yanked out of your life by a crisis and have to get back on the ride all over again. With refreshing candor, Maria Ross shares how the relentless pace of her life came to a screeching halt when an undetected brain aneurysm ruptured and nearly killed her. Along her stubborn road back to health, her resulting cognitive and emotional challenges forced her sometimes kicking and screaming to reframe her life, her work and her identity. With humor and heart, Ross shares what it was like being blind for six weeks, how a TV crime drama and a brain-games website played key roles in her recovery, and why a handmade necklace helped her regain her sense of self.

Ross reveals the keys to her extraordinary comeback and how her perspective is forever changed, mostly for the better. Funny, touching and real, this book not only shares an inspirational story of transformation but enlightens readers about the surprising effects of brain injury... and explores the question,How do our brains define who we are?

she did a magnificent job with this book.

I myself have had a brain aneurysm 5 years ago when I was 25. every single thing she went through I felt like I did as well except the blindness. I just have a lazy eye from it. that and I had multiple surgeries for my aneurysm. I've never met anyone that experienced a brain aneurysm before and this book makes you feel like you really know her and she did so well with explaining everything she went through. I just wish I could hear more about it. It's so interesting and relatable. and there's really no other audio books out about brain aneurysm so she was brilliant to make one. great job girl. you did fantastic!

Great book

Fun narrative. Great story makes you feel like your not alone in this journey. Inspiring.
