Strengthen Your Mind
Activities for People Concerned About Early Memory Loss, Volume Two
By Kristin Einberger and Janelle Sellick, M.S.

"[This book] is a gem for all the over-fifty folk worried about losing memories and not knowing how to keep the brain stimulated and healthy. …[It] has a place in private homes of people knowing that mental-flossing does indeed help to stave off diseases such as Alzheimer's. It is just as much at home in assisted living, adult day health settings, and senior centers as a wonderful tool for enriching the cognitive lives of those already experiencing early memory issues. Once again, Kristin Einberger and Janelle Sellick have given the aging public a new opportunity to be an active part of reversing the doom-and-gloom future of living with memory loss and turn it instead into a fun and challenging new life chapter."
-Joanne Koenig Coste, author of Learning to Speak Alzheimer's

"Strengthen Your Mind, Volume 2, definitely provides an extensive variety of topics and activity suggestions with wide appeal to older adults looking for ways to upgrade their memory fitness routine. While taking a walk down memory lane, the conversation possibilities will only add to the benefits by enhancing interactions for groups as well as time spent with families, friends, and caregivers."
-Kathryn Kilpatrick, M.A., CCC-SLP, speech and language pathologist, geriatric communication consultant, and memory fitness specialist

"[This book] provides stimulating and enjoyable brain exercises that not only challenge your memory (in a fun way), but also bring back fond memories of special times in your life to reminisce about.… The authors are to be congratulated on writing a valuable tool for families and health care professionals to use with people concerned with memory loss."
-Joyce Simard M.S.W., private geriatric consultant and author of The End-of-Life Namaste Care Program for People with Dementia

"This engaging and stimulating collection of activities is a wonderful resource for the growing numbers of persons with memory loss, care partners, and professionals who seek opportunities to focus less on what is lost by discovering and building on what endures."
–Lisa Snyder, L.C.S.W., author, Speaking our Minds
