In this episode of Better Thinking, Nesh Nikolic speaks with Scott Harris about the physical and mental challenges of living with an injured brain.

Scott B Harris is a keynote speaker, author, and resilience expert.

In 2008, Scott was involved in a motorbike accident that caused lasting injuries including a Traumatic Brain Injury.

This was due to a severe Closed Head Injury, which resulted in extensive facial fractures, requiring a facial reconstruction. To reconstruct his face, 11 titanium plates were bolted to his skull. The Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) was so severe that he sustained extremely severe Frontal Lobe Damage and shearing of the brain.

This has left Scott with paralysis on the right side of his body from shoulder to toes, causing major instability issues. He also has a Brachial Plexus injury to his right arm involving three severed nerves.

After the accident, rehab became Scott’s full-time job – a job he took very seriously.

The intense physical and mental rehabilitation which he continues to this day is the reason he is still alive and has achieved so much.

Scott has discovered that setting and achieving goals, both mental and physical, keeps you looking forward rather than backwards and fills you with purpose.
