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

About the Author

Hal Newsom retired from the advertising world at the age of 60, after spending 35 years writing television commercials, newspaper ads, and radio copy. He has always led an active physical life, filled with competitve sports and outdoor activities. At 66, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Although slowed by Parkinson's, he has not let the disease diminish his zest for life. Today he hikes in the Washington mountains (not as high as before), downhill skis (except for moguls), jogs (at a snail's pace), and bikes the streets of Seattle (at no blazing speed). He shares his experience and attitudes with the hope that they will help provide insight and encouragement to others who are identified in this book as Parkinson's People.
