Competition Details & Terms

If a loved one changes as a result of a brain disorder, are they still the same person?

So begins a beautifully written and deeply moving book for our times, about who we become when our minds misbehave - from dementia and brain injury to sleep disorders, coma, and multiple personality disorder. Dr Jules Montague is a neurologist who spends her days helping people who are experiencing dementia and other brain disorders.

Yet there is more to identity than just memory. Who are we when we dream, fall unconscious or wake from a coma? What if our personality changes radically because of dementia or multiple personality disorder - are we still inherently the same person? And could a brain disorder awaken your creativity, release your talents, enhance your identity rather than damage it?

Blending first-hand accounts from the author's day-to-day medical work with the latest thinking into what makes us who we are, this is an unforgettable book about how we lose ourselves and those around us - and how we can be found again. (less) Enter the draw below for your chance to win one of five copies of Lost and Found below
