"A doctor's powerful and deeply human memoir about the mysteries of the brain and his 40 year quest to find a treatment for MS. Dr. Stephen L. Hauser is an acclaimed physician and neuroimmunologist who has spent his career performing cutting-edge research on multiple sclerosis (MS), a devastating brain disease that affects millions of people worldwide.

This heartwarming book, written in accessible prose and related with equal measures of humor, empathy, and excitement, is sure to inspire anyone who has faced a daunting challenge"-- Provided by publisher.
