After a double diagnosis of early-onset dementia and Alzheimer's disease in 2010, corporate executive Scott Russell went into a deep depression. He isolated himself, lost clarity, and struggled for purpose. It was at this dark period in his life that he made a life-changing decision to make a positive impact on others. He began to work with Alzheimer's Program of Norwalk, Connecticut, and his popular Alzi Animals project was born. Scott transforms stuffed animals into one-of-a-kind pieces of art designed to comfort those in need of the healing powers of a smile and hope. As an extension of his dedication to help others, Scott and his friends created Silly Mr. Scott, a story designed to inspire those who may not understand what is happening to their loved ones. In this tale, the students of an elementary school class come up with ways to help their beloved art teacher stay active at school. The result is an inspirational and educational story for all ages about love and caring for those impacted by Alzheimer's disease. Scott's Alzi Animals are sought-after collectors' pieces, sold to raise funds for and awareness of Alzheimer's research. Scott feels that with proper funding, this devastating disease can be conquered.
THE DISILLUSIONED is a ruthlessly honest memoir of a young man who writes both searingly and disarmingly about the highs and lows, the perils and promise of our times. THE DISILLUSIONED documents the struggle all too common for recent generations: yearning to find a sense of worth and a purpose to their lives against the backdrop of abuses rife in modern society and the duplicity of political systems which favour the rich and powerful despite the hollow rhetoric that promises something else. THE DISILLUSIONED encompasses three decades, beginning with the impressionable child indoctrinated with the propaganda of Thatcher's Britain and suffering sexual abuse, a lack of role models and any sense of belonging. It is a gripping story of obsessive ambition, discrimination, sex, scams, suicidal impulses, alcoholism, the search for love, loss and the quest for redemption in New Zealand. It is the author's story, but also the story of a disillusioned silent majority; the story of young people bogged down with debt and disillusionment; the story, too, of the increasing dangers facing our children in a materialistic world where family bonds and values are sacrificed for high incomes and status. "THE DISILLUSIONED is a surprisingly compulsive read about what I call the Misfit Generation - the one beguiled at first by the challenge of rational economics and then bewildered by its effects. David Scott's odyssey is to find self-worth, to discover basic human values among the detritus of modern life. At the end you can't be sure he's made it. But his story matters and he tells it with the pace and directness of a pro." - Gordon McLauchlan, writer and book critic.
