Leon Edward

Leon Edward is an author and advocate for brain health, lifelong learning, and living with resilience. After surviving a traumatic brain injury from a gunshot wound in early adulthood, he committed his life to understanding the power of the brain, healthy aging, and recovery after trauma.

Drawing from decades of personal experience with rehabilitation and neuroplasticity, Leon writes books to support others—whether they're navigating recovery from injury or seeking to optimize cognitive health at any age. His work spans topics such as brain health, brain injury and stroke recovery, mental performance, emotional wellness, senior health and childhood brain development.

Many of his books are grounded in extensive research and developed in collaboration with health professionals in rehabilitation, therapy, and neuroscience. He has co-authored work with medical experts and strives to ensure that each title is both practical and evidence-informed.

He is especially passionate about helping people—young or old, injured or healthy—live fully and independently, even after life-changing setbacks. His goal is to offer reliable strategies, hope, and encouragement to readers from all walks of life.

As a lifelong sports enthusiast, Leon also enjoys exploring the mental side of performance. He writes about focus, positivity, concentration, mindset, resilience, and visualization, and how these tools can support athletic performance and improve everyday life.
