Summary: Keep Sharp by Sanjay Gupta, MD: Build a Better Brain at Any Age

Dr. Gupta has crafted his narrative to provide a wealth of advice for individuals exhibiting symptoms of the initial stages of dementia. He puts his arm around the reader and tells him or her how to get the help they need, secure a proper diagnosis, and how to come to grips with the most adverse effects. Keep Sharp is Dr. Sanjay Gupta's comprehensive guide to cognitive dysfunction disease in its various forms, including dementia, and provides guidance on prevention, treatment, and coping strategies.

Gupta bravely initiated a noble and global quest to gather up and analyze how doctors tackle brain function problems and cognitive challenges. He holds an impressive list of characters and anecdotes from his efforts.

Gupta dove into the past to look at dementia. He looked at ancient history through the Enlightenment and into the modern era.

Keep Sharp serves as a valuable resource for both popular science and medical advice, appealing to a diverse range of readers. Despite the impossibility of avoiding medical jargon for cognitive dysfunction, Gupta presents a simplified, engaging, and compelling story that revolves around the human brain, one of the most complex objects we know of. Gupta clearly defines his terms from the outset, equipping the reader with the necessary understanding and action. The reader begins to learn how our physical and mental activities affect our brains.

Gupta pieces together valuable resources in the final chapter to guide those who carry a diagnosis of dementia. Though his approach is predictably straightforward and practical, he infuses it with the empathy and understanding of a competent doctor. His goal is to bring the issue of Alzheimer’s, its significance, its challenges, and possible solutions to a broader audience.

This book does not aim to provide medical advice. If you have health problems, consult with your physician. Rather than replace Dr. Gupta's book, it serves to complement it.
