"""Alexander Segall provides an accessible and empathetic exploration of 'the complex relationship between illness and identity' through a focus on the meaning and management of hidden chronic health problems. It is a welcome contribution to the under-researched paradox that those with chronic health problems often consider themselves in good health."" - Neena L. Chappell, FRSC, CM, Professor Emeritus, Department of Sociology and Institute on Aging and Lifelong Health, University of Victoria ""Segall offers deeply profound insights that can bring comfort to those suffering from unrelenting health challenges. By unpacking the nuances of their experience, he equips family members, friends, co-workers, and clinicians with knowledge that supports, instead of dismisses and trivializes their suffering. The timely release of this book will also provide consolation and solace for those enduring the miseries of long COVID, the newest hidden chronic challenge. This book provides a remarkable depth that is contextualized by Segall's own personal challenges and his life-long dedication to the study of health as a renowned and distinguished social scientist."" - Judith G. Chipperfield, Professor Emerita of Psychology, University of Manitoba ""Segall's expertise as a scholar with lived experience of an invisible health condition informs this insightful analysis of the effects such chronic illnesses have on your life.. Illuminating the challenges of invisible illnesses for navigating our social worlds, Segall also explores possibilities for hope and resilience as people reconcile impacts on their lives and identities. This book will be of interest to social scientists, gerontologists, students, and those living with invisible long-term chronic illness, as well as their families and friends."" - Laura Funk, Professor of Sociology, University of Manitoba"
