Product Description
This book is a book of hope for both the newly diagnosed Parkinson's Person as well as a helpful reminder to a better quality of life for those who have had the disease for many years. The writing is succinct and easy to read. Hal outlines the four basics of hope as 1) Help; 2) Optimism; 3) Physician; and 4) Exercise. His personal stories on these four points are candid and powerful. He has experienced some changes in his life as a result of Parkinson's but he remains positive, upbeat and full of vitality. He shares some personal guidelines he now lives by and offers some tips on how to on how to face the challenges that may lie ahead. This is not a lecture on what you should do but merely an insight into what is working for a fellow person with Parkinson's. This is an essential tool to improve one's quality of life for those living with Parkinson's

A critical book for those with Parkinson's Disease and their relatives. January 17, 2008
Phillip A. Ballard (Seattle, WA USA)
There are a number of books out there for patients and families, and this is one of the best--required reading. Attitude is everything in this disorder, and Hope gives people the keys to a healthy one.

Giving this to friends for three years January 16, 2008
Paxson Pynchon
This book came out four or five years ago. It's gone through one revision, and I continue to give it out to friends.
Originally I read this as a person related to someone with Parkinsons - it had helped my mother deal with the challenge. But I heard from others that it was simply inspirational for anyone dealing with a long term health challenge.
I've bought this book 11 times now to give to people who need some light. And I hear time and again that that's happened - and that they get it for others.
Newsom is a real inspiration.
Very Helpful and Thoughtful for all Who Care About or Care for Someone with PD January 15, 2008
Davney R. Stahley (Seattle WA USA)
When I was put into the position of having to learn about Parkinson's disease, the first book I read was Hal Newsom's "HOPE". It is a fast read and easily understood. I learned a lot about PD and how attitude, exercise, drugs and nutrition are so important. A few months later I re-read "HOPE". What struck me the second time around was that the book improved with the second reading. Anyone who has PD should read this book. And, anyone who cares about or cares for someone with PD should also read it. It's one way to learn what goes on emotionally and spiritually with a PD patient, in addition to physically.
Best book yet for the Parkinson's patient January 15, 2008
Bill B.
Absolutely the finest tool yet to give one the incentive to get up, get out and get busy. First rate.
Practical, Positive and Personal October 15, 2003

16 out of 16 found this review helpful
This is a book that offers very PRACTICAL suggestions (because they are tried and true) ways to approach life at a time and in a circumstance when you might want to give up. It is POSITIVE without overlooking the problems and hurdles to overcome. It is PERSONAL as it depicts the adventures of a very talented and vital personality coping with a life of change and uncertainty. Whether you have Parkinson's or not, whether you are a caregiver or not - this book will inspire you to approach life with a positive attitude and a practical application.
