Books

Never stop learning

Some of these books were recommended to me throughout my TBI journey. Some of these books, I found on my own. If reading is too difficult for you in your recovery state, try listening to them as a book on tape. I had to take my time while reading some of these, but I learned something from each book. I also realized that I am not alone in my TBI fight. There is HELP and there is HOPE.
