Warwick’s presents Payson R. Stevens as he discusses and signs his new book, "The Wisdom of the Alzheimer's Sage: A Son's Journey Through Caregiving, Identity, and Spiritual Transformation." Payson R. Stevens is an award-winning science communicator, artist, writer, environmentalist, filmmaker, and a recipient of the Presidential Award for Design Excellence from Bill Clinton. He has appeared on CNN's Network Earth and was an early TED speaker. The co-author of two books, "Embracing Earth" and "Meshuggenary," he and his wife, the writer Kamla K. Kapur, divide their time between the remote Indian Himalayas and San Diego, California. Reserved Seating is available when "The Wisdom of the Alzheimer's Sage" is pre-ordered from Warwick's. Only books purchased from Warwick's will be signed. Please call the Warwick's Book Dept. (858) 454-0347 for details. When Stevens became his mother's caregiver, he prepared for sorrow. What he found instead was a slow, mysterious transformation—hers and his own. As her successful identity as a pioneering dentist dissolved into the haze of Alzheimer's, Stevens began to witness something unexpected: startling moments of clarity, humor, serenity, and connection. Her fragmented speech began to echo Zen koans. Her gaze, emptied of ego, radiated peace. What appeared to be disintegration revealed a paradoxical wisdom—what Stevens came to call "Alzheimer's wisdom." With lyrical vignettes, Stevens explores how caregiving became a path of grace. As he and his mother moved beyond past conflicts into quiet communion, their journey illuminated truths about love, identity, and what remains when memory fades. This is a meditation on how dementia, while undeniably painful, can also strip away the ego to reveal a deeper presence—one that mirrors the surrender described in Buddhist, Sufi, and contemplative Christian traditions. Part memoir, part caregiving companion, and part spiritual meditation," The Wisdom of the Alzheimer's Sage" invites readers to see beyond the tragedy of dementia—to find beauty, insight, and even sacredness in one of life's most difficult passages.
