From Professionals:

"Having survived a traumatic brain injury 14 years ago Mike continually struggles to make the most of every asset he has. And he has many. By temperament, Mike is a remarkably serene man with an almost mystical sense of well being. Mike questions, yet is upbeat. He can be cynical, yet hopeful. He is serious, yet has a great sense of humor. Thanks to his continual contemplation many sage morsels of advice can be found throughout his writings."


"Mike Strand inspires people to become better people. His writings create a sense of hope a sense that tomorrow can be a better place - timeless values that we can all strive for. Mike continually inspires people to take personal responsibility for making the best of their lives."

Tom Gode
Executive Director
Brain Injury Association of Minnesota

From Survivors:



"This book is out of this world, especially in describing what BI is like. The description of the constant nagging feeling was so good she cried. Thanks for putting into words what she had been unable to describe."
