Awakenings--which inspired the major motion picture--is the remarkable story of a group of patients who contracted sleeping-sickness during the great epidemic just after World War I. Frozen for decades in a trance-like state, these men and women were given up as hopeless until 1969, when Dr. Oliver Sacks gave them the then-new drug L-DOPA, which had an astonishing, explosive, "awakening" effect. Dr. Sacks recounts the moving case histories of his patients, their lives, and the extraordinary transformations which went with their reintroduction to a changed world.Binding Type: Paperback

Relatable
Format: Paperback
Relatable and practical that is how I would describe Debra Fileta’s books. People Skills is no exception. It’s practical and offers many options for personal self assessments and useful skill building ideas. I especially like the audiobook narrated by the author.
