Description
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO CHOOSE LIFE AFTER AN ALZHEIMER'S DIAGNOSIS?
In this powerful and deeply human conversation, I sit down with Samuel A. Simon — author, playwright, former public interest lawyer, and the creative force behind his stirring book, 'Dementia Man: An Existential Journey.' After decades advocating for justice and social change, Sam now uses his voice to challenge how we think about aging, memory, and meaning.
Diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer’s, Sam refused to fade quietly. Instead, he transformed his lived experience into an award-winning stage production and a moving new memoir that confronts stigma, exposes cracks in our medical system, and reminds us that dignity, purpose, and connection are still possible — even in the face of cognitive decline.
This episode is honest, courageous, and essential listening for seniors, caregivers, families, and anyone who believes our later years still matter.
Listen, reflect, and share — because this conversation is changing how we talk about Alzheimer’s.
Sam's book can be found on Amazon. More about Sam and his story can be found on his website. Sam invites listeners to connect with him directly at his 'dementiamanwebsite.'
