Second Acts, Second Chances “There are no second acts in American lives, but F. Scott Fitzgerald should have brushed up on his neuroscience. There can be a second act for the brain. Devastated by injury the brain’s of ordinary people can develop amazing new skills, a second act, if you will, known as Acquired Savant Syndrome. A high school dropout is savagely attacked; he awakens able to draw mathematically accurate fractals by hand. After a stroke, a doctor with previously no interest in art becomes a gifted painter, whose work adorns gallery walls and magazine pages. So if our brain’s can have a second act, why not our lives? Broken lives can be healed, justice can finally prevail, damaged relationships repair, sins can be forgiven, and wrongs can be righted. In our lives, as in our brains, we all deserve a second chance. We just have to be brave enough to see.” — Daniel Pierce
