But that doesn't mean the malaise and anxiety people feel about modern families are delusions, that everything would be fine if we would only realize that the past was not all it's cracked up to be. . . . Even if things were not always right in families of the past, it seems clear that some things have newly gone wrong.

The concussion crisis has changed the face of sports as we know it and it has brought to surface the incredible importance of our brain health.
