Books By Mitchell Ball
Beach Logic is a funny and nostalgic look at everything we love—and complain about—at the beach.
From hot sand and sunscreen to crashing waves, hungry seagulls, and beach-chair struggles, nothing escapes Beach Logic.
Along the way, Mitchell Ball shares touching memories of growing up at Rockaway Beach and unforgettable times with family and friends.
Funny, personal, and heartfelt, Beach Logic reminds us why some of our happiest memories begin with sand between our toes.
Patient in the Mirror is Mitchell Ball’s deeply personal journey from longtime respiratory therapist and caregiver to frightened patient. After more than forty years of caring for others, a painful kidney stone, surgery, and ureteral stent forced him to experience healthcare from the other side of the bed.
Through pain, fear, frustration, humor, and recovery, Mitchell discovers the importance of compassion, patient advocacy, friendship, and finding purpose after an unexpected medical crisis. Patient in the Mirror is a story of resilience, gratitude, and how becoming the patient can forever change the way we care for others.
Swimming Pool Logic takes a funny look at the strange things people do around the swimming pool.
From lounge-chair wars and giant floats to kids splashing and adults who never actually swim, nothing escapes notice.
Mitchell Ball finds the humor in the little poolside habits we all recognize.
A lighthearted addition to The Logic Series that proves sometimes the best part of swimming is simply watching everyone else.
Beyond the Bed is the true story of a respiratory therapist who spent more than forty years caring for others—until he became the patient.
Pain, surgery, vulnerability, and recovery gave me an entirely new view of healthcare from the other side of the bed.
Through compassion, friendship, and returning to the water, I began finding my way back to myself and a renewed sense of purpose.
The caregiver I was. The patient I became. The purpose I found. The story I share.
