Chinese Summary/中文概要： 帕金森氏症是中枢神经系统疾病，全美有一百万患者，全球有一千万患者。在本书中，Alex Kerten讲解了他的突破性的全面技术，能够将舞蹈疗法、行为矫正和武术结合起来，证明了即使被确诊为帕金森氏症仍能正常地生活。Alex拥有三十年协助帕金森氏病患者的经验，他在本书中分享了自己的看法和技术，能够通过20种简单可行的练习成为他所谓的“帕金森勇士”，最终能够成功地减轻大部分症状并回复到一个有建设性和成就感的正常生活中来。书中说，患者斌应该把自己看做是受害者，而应该将自己定位为得了帕金森氏症的健康的普通人，这样就能帮助他们更好地回归到正常的生活中去。（LYR）
Awards/获奖情况：这是一本聪明、用心而且能够给人以启发的书，是所有患有帕金森氏症或者希望帮助自己身边那些因为受伤或疾病而低落的人生活得更好的人的必备书籍。其中大量通过亲身经验积累而成的动作、音乐和思维方法确实能够减轻疼痛甚至取代药物。（Susan Shapiro教授，《纽约时报》畅销书合著者，发表有《Unhooked: How to Quit Anything》）
Alex Kerten和David Brinn确实理解身患慢性疾病的生活，也给出了很实际的建议。本书是直接的，温暖的，所有帕金森氏症患者以及护理者的很有价值的伙伴。（Jessica Handler，著有《Braving the Fire: A Guide to Writing About Grief》以及回忆录《Loss and Invisible Sisters》）
每个刚刚确诊为帕金森氏症的病人都应该有机会了解到他们仍旧是健康的人，只不过是得了帕金森氏症而已。Alex Kerten的疗法很生动地展现了所有人都有选择自己如何活下去的权利，包括成为帕金森勇士。（Lolly Champion，Santa Barbara帕金森氏症联合会的首席教育家和副总裁）
Alex Kerten的方法也要求患者能够看到积极的一面：你不是一个被帕金森氏症奴役的病人，而是一个普通人，恰巧得了帕金森氏症而已。这种简单的（但很有挑战性的）思维转换是运动能否有效的关键。但Kerten的热情和鼓励以及用人非常容易懂方式解释他那些简单动作的方法一定能够让那些身患慢性疾病的人感觉到希望。（Sara Houston博士，Roehampton大学舞蹈部主讲人）
“This smart, soulful, and inspiring book will galvanize anyone who suffers from Parkinson’s or wants to help someone else learn to live well with any kind of debilitating injury or disease. A fascinating hands-on explanation of how movement, music, and mindfulness can replace pills andpain.”—Professor Susan Shapiro, New York Times bestselling coauthor, with Dr. Frederick Woolverton, of Unhooked: How to Quit Anything
“Alex Kerten and David Brinn understand the challenges of living with chronic illness and have offered a realistic solution.Goodbye Parkinson’s, Hello life is clear, straightforward, and warm — a valuable companion for Parkinson’s patients and caregivers alike.”—Jessica Handler, author of Braving the Fire: A Guide to Writing About Grief and Loss and Invisible Sisters, A Memoir
“Each new person receiving a Parkinson’s diagnosis should have the opportunity to learn they are still a healthy person...with Parkinson’s. Alex Kerten’s Gyro-Kinetics program vividly demonstrates that everyone — no exceptions — can choose to change their lives by taking the challenge to be a Parkinson’s Warrior.”—Lolly Champion, Education Chair/Vice President, Parkinson Association of Santa Barbara (PASB)
“Alex Kerten’s method also requires the mind to think positively: You are not a sick person who is ruled by Parkinson’s, but a healthy person who just happens to have Parkinson’s. The simple (yet challenging) shift in emphasis is a key part of the movement method. But Kerten is refreshingly enthusiastic and encouraging, clearly explaining his method through very simple movement tasks outlined in the book. His method goes beyond being a dance manual though. It is a recipe for a different way of living with a chronic condition.”—Dr. Sara Houston, principal lecturer, national teaching fellow, Department of Dance, University of Roehampton
