  Identity Theft, Second Edition is an update to the award-winning book that follows Stanford professor Debra Meyerson’s journey to recover from a severe stroke that initially left her physically incapacitated and unable to speak. In addition to providing realistic expectations for the hard work needed to regain everyday capabilities, Meyerson and Zuckerman focus on the less frequently documented – but equally critical – emotional journey as she and her family rebuild identity in recovery. The second edition adds perspective from an additional five years of continued recovery and rebuilding their lives, including insights from the work of the nonprofit they co-founded – Stroke Onward. Virtually every stroke survivor is haunted by questions like “Who am I now?” and “How do I rebuild a meaningful and rewarding life?” after losing so much of what they had before—capabilities, careers and jobs, relationships, and more. The first edition centered on Debra’s experience: her stroke in 2010, her extraordinary efforts to recover, and her journey to redefine herself. But she also draws on her skills as a social scientist, sharing stories from several dozen fellow survivors, family members, friends, colleagues, therapists, and doctors she met and interviewed. By sharing this diversity of experiences, Debra highlighted how every stroke is different and every recovery is different. The new content in this second edition was written by Debra and her spouse, Steve Zuckerman. They co-founded the nonprofit Stroke Onward to build an organization that can catalyze change in the healthcare system to better integrate the emotional journey of rebuilding identity into a lifelong recovery process. They’ve added new insights about the long-term recovery process and how we can change the stroke system of care to better support all survivors and their families.

  Cosmic rays are an intriguing aspect of astrophysics, originating from various sources in the universe, such as supernovae, pulsars, and even black holes. They consist of charged particles accelerated to incredible energies, often far beyond what our most powerful particle accelerators on Earth can achieve. These particles, when they collide with the Earth's atmosphere, create secondary particles in a cascade of interactions, leading to a fascinating array of phenomena. 
    
  Studying cosmic rays provides valuable insights into the universe's most extreme environments and processes. They offer clues about the composition of cosmic objects, the nature of dark matter, and the magnetic fields permeating space. Moreover, understanding cosmic rays is crucial for space exploration, as they pose radiation hazards to astronauts and spacecraft. 
    
  Researchers use ground-based detectors, high-altitude balloons, and even satellites to study cosmic rays from different vantage points. By analyzing the energy spectrum, arrival directions, and particle types, scientists aim to unlock the mysteries surrounding these enigmatic messengers from the cosmos.

His approach is transformative, leading to a significant increase in patient acceptance of full mouth treatment while simultaneously reducing the number of working hours they must engage in. This remarkable shift ultimately yields increasingly greater financial rewards for his clients, as well as offering the best dental care possible for their patients.Through Dr. Pearce's coaching, practitioners discover a newfound ability to navigate the complexities of their profession with confidence and ease. By adopting his proven strategies, they become adept at effectively communicating the value and benefits of comprehensive care to their patients.

They are encouraged to bring their unique talents and perspectives to the table, fostering a sense of ownership and accountability. Dr. Pearce emphasizes the importance of cultivating a culture of collaboration and mutual support within the practice. By doing so, practitioners experience the extraordinary benefits of harnessing the collective expertise and passion of their team members.As the team becomes more engaged and motivated, the practice thrives. Dentists will find themselves working smarter, not harder, as the burden of responsibilities is distributed among the team. This redistribution of tasks allows the practitioners to focus on their core competencies, delivering exceptional care to their patients while also having the chance to dedicate more time to their personal lives.Through Dr. Pearce's coaching approach, practitioners are able witness a remarkable transformation in their professional and financial lives. They not only achieve a much greater income through increased patient acceptance of comprehensive care, but they also cultivate a fulfilling and harmonious work environment where every team member contributes to the collective success. Dr. Pearce's coaching transcends conventional business strategies, creating a sustainable framework that enables practitioners to thrive personally, professionally, and financially.
