Susan Inman's memoir describes her family's nine year journey to help her younger daughter recover from a catastrophic schizoaffective disorder. "Highly recommended" by Dr. E. Fuller Torrey author of Surviving Schizophrenia and described by him as "...one of the best accounts I have read of serious mental illness as told by a mother." From the introduction, Michael Kirby, Chair of the Mental Health Commission of Canada and Ella Amir, the chair of the Caregiver's Advisory Committee state "Susan's heart wrenching account is an important reminder of the work we still have to do to ensure that people with mental illness and their families get the same treatment and respect that individuals with physical illnesses receive. It is also testimony to the devotion and dedication of families, which sadly often comes at the expense of their own well-being" Harvard psychiatrist, Dr. Stephanie Engel said "Susan Inman has written a much needed book about her experience as a mother coming to grips with her daughter's devastating mental illness. Other parents will recognize and take comfort from her courageous and persistent efforts to learn what is known about psychotic illnesses and their treatment, while holding tenaciously to her own personal knowledge of what it means to be a loving, humane and thoughtful parent. Believing in one's own instincts as a parent in the face of expertise, myths and prejudices is a monumental task, and Ms Inman does it with grace and conviction." Emergency room physician and international best selling author, Dr. Daniel Kalla said "After Her Brain Broke is a harrowing, heart wrenching, and ultimately triumphant story of one family's struggle with a child's mental illness. It's impossible not to be moved by Susan Inman's honest and touching account of her daughter's sudden descent into mental health turmoil and the family's long hard battle to overcome it. A must read for families coping with a mental illness, and a wonderful eye-opener for those of us lucky enough not to have been affected."Binding Type: Paperback

Terrible, bizarre customer service. Don't bother with Tipre! Waste of money.
Size: 2 kg - Mini Size
Glad that some had 5-star experiences but that was DEFINITELY NOT my case. Shorty after the return window the tare become unstable in spite of a fully-charged battery. Tipre requested a video to prove my claims, then requested a SECOND VIDEO, and offered a replacement only if I were to PURCHASE A SECOND SCALE and they would reimburse me. DO I HAVE STUPID WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD???? I can throw this scale in the trash and be only $20 in the hole, why risk ANOTHER $20??? Lots of options on Amazon. BUY A DIFFERENT ONE!!

Great Scale for fine measurements, best I could hope for so give it a go!
I'm using this as an ordinary kitchen scale not as a pour over coffee scale with timer so my review will reflect my usage. I bought because it measures to 0.1grams which is 10 times finer resolution than most kitchen scales like my beloved OXO that died after many years. I don't usually need that fine a resolution but I do need to know to the exact gram so by seeing tenths of a gram I can see exactly how close I am to that 1 gram diference. For example less exact scales aren't sensitive to tiny changes in weight so if you make several tiny additions to get a scale to register 1 more gram it isn't sensitive enough to register those tiny change so to see if you finally added enough flour to get to say 30 grams. With ordinary scakes you have to remove the item from the scale & reweigh the whole thing because a lesser scale just doesn't register tiny incremental additions or subsubtractions. That makes this scale actually accurate to the tiny amounts you add or subtract to get an exact weight in whole grams so its ten times better in my book for less money than my previous scale. The display is very stable, meaning a weight doesn't jump up & down a few times before it settles on the true weight which is exactly how scales should work and its fast. I think the trade off for this increased accuracy is that its upper weight limit is less than the OXO & others but when making 1, 2, or 3 cakes or loaves you need to weigh small addition like salt and spices. If you need to weigh big slabs of meat this scales doesn't weigh heavy enough for that so compare how you will use the scale to it's listed specs when choosing. So far its been very consistent, stable & fast. Also the tare waorks well & quickly plus the auto shut off feature gives you enough time to handle distractions like checking the recipe or openibg a new bag of flour so that function also balances need with the econy of saving batteries. Others have shut off too soon making me totally nuts so keep this little feature in mind.The only minor quibble I have is that it has an orange display which is my least favorite color but its bright & clear to read so no real argument from me & if it holds up over time I will be a very happy woman, but so far so good! I have used it multiple times daily for a couple months now to maintain my Sourdough starter & make bread and it's perfect for that and it has gotten a workout before I wrote this review. I hope it helps you chose as there are so many scales to choose from its difficult to hit all the right buttons but this scale has done that nicely! Happy baking!

Great Beginner Coffee Scale
I have owned this scale for several months now and have had no complains. It is quick to read when adding beans. I have really enjoyed having the built in stopwatch. Some reviews say they would rather have a timer, but I really haven't felt the need for one. I have found that it is accurate with .3-.5 grams which is entirely reasonable for the price and for my use, pour over. In case it wasn't obvious, I would not recommend this for pulling shots of espresso as it is rather large and less accurate than you would want. I find it funny when people think they are going to get an ultra accurate, precise scale at this price point. If you want something accurate, you will have to pay more for it, but for the person who wants to step up their coffee game from using volumetric measurements, this is a great deal.

Reliable Coffee Scale for Daily Use
I've been using the ERAVSOW Coffee Scale for four years now, and it has been an essential tool in my daily coffee brewing routine. Here's what I love about it:
Accurate Measurements: The precision sensors ensure accurate measurements every time, which is crucial for brewing the perfect cup of coffee. Whether I'm measuring beans or water, I can always rely on this scale to give me precise results.
Convenient Timer: The built-in timer is a fantastic feature for timing my pour-over brews. It helps me achieve consistency in my brewing process and ensures that I extract the flavors just right.
Sturdy Construction: The stainless steel construction feels durable and high-quality. It has held up well over the years, despite regular use in my kitchen.
LCD Display: The LCD display is clear and somewhat easy to read, not as much in low light conditions. It provides all the necessary information at a glance, including weight and timer readings.
Batteries Included: I appreciate that the scale comes with batteries included, so I could start using it right out of the box without any additional purchases.
However, there is one minor issue that I've encountered over time—the rubber feet have started to come off. While this hasn't affected the functionality of the scale, it's worth mentioning as it could potentially affect its stability on certain surfaces.
Overall, the ERAVSOW Coffee Scale has been a reliable companion in my coffee brewing journey. Despite the minor issue with the rubber feet, I highly recommend it to any coffee enthusiast looking for a dependable scale for their daily brewing needs.
