My name is Lori Purdy Faitel, I am a Traumatic Brain Injury Survivor. I am your host for THE SCIENCE OF HAPPINESS.I suffered a TBI, when I was 24 years old. As I speak to you I am 52 years old. I was clinically dead 3 times, which makes being over 50 a blessing! Back in the day, everything in my life was a dream come true. I was almost 25 years old, a recent promotion in business which inspired me with dreams for my future. I was attending college at night, I had recently moved out of my parents home for the first time, I had many friends and I was on the fast track to a future of my dreams with the man I had been in love with, for about 5 years. THEN on a beautiful sunny spring morning as I drove on the freeway to my job a construction truck dropped bales of hay onto my windshield causing me to lose control of my car, spinning off the road and into cement construction material. From  that point forward my dreams were taken away. I was diagnosed with a TBI, in a mild coma for 7 days and it took about 6 years of therapy and extensive study before I was able to function like an adult again. I understand that the world is not filled with happiness; But for an hour or so lets concentrate on things that help to create happiness. My guest will be Michael Malecki. I met Michael few weeks ago we met on LinkedIn & I knew we had to meet in person. He owns a new company called the M&M Group. Michael told that he has worked with brain injury clients for years, he wishes to build his business with a good reputation of caring.. Read an excerpt from his website - The M & M Group is the company you can trust.  Listen at 8PM Eastern Standard Time on September 10th to hear, and answer questions, about working with the brain injured.
