About Still Here
Still Here is Blake Murphy’s first book — a memoir about surviving a stroke in his thirties, losing the version of himself he had built, and slowly rebuilding identity, career, and health one system at a time. It is for anyone who has had life knock them sideways and is trying to figure out how to keep going without pretending the old version is coming back.
What you’ll find inside
- Honest writing about what stroke recovery actually feels like — including the parts that rarely get talked about.
- The frameworks Blake used to rebuild a working life with AI after losing core cognitive bandwidth.
- Practical lessons on resilience as a daily practice, not a personality trait.
- Stories from the messy middle — fatherhood, identity loss, and learning to ask for help.
