About this listen

For years, former fighter and Ivy League football player Mark Tullius ignored the warning signs. The headaches, memory lapses, and mood swings were just part of the game—until a brain scan changed everything.

This raw and revealing traumatic brain injury memoir blends personal storytelling, medical research, and mental-health insights. What began as a mission to help fellow fighters and athletes understand CTE and TBI became a deeply personal quest for recovery, resilience, and meaning.

Forced to confront the hidden damage from years of contact sports and combat, Mark refused to surrender. Instead, he turned his pain into a relentless pursuit of health, happiness, and brain-body healing through science, therapy, and self-discovery.

Whether you’re an athlete, veteran, caregiver, or survivor, this eye-opening book offers hope, perspective, and practical tools for rebuilding your life after trauma.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic Reviews

"It provides a road map of experience that is unparalleled in health literature, offering both thought-provoking assessments and hope to all ages who either participate in sports or are recovering from head injury. It should be in any health collection, as well as in libraries strong in memoirs containing deep psychological self-assessments." (D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review)

"A gut-wrenchingly honest look at the ultimate nightmare - the betrayal of one's own body. Mark's confrontations with the repercussions of a combat and contact-sport-driven youth lead to an optimistic and information-laden investigation into the emerging treatments for CTE and TBI and related injuries." (Sam Sheridan, author of A Fighter's Heart, The Fighter's Mind and The Disaster Diaries)
