"This book is crammed full of useful information for bipolar patients, their family members, therapists, friends, lovers, employers and anyone else interested in bipolar disorders....This book is so well written and so full of useful advice as to how to plan and organize a life, that it could be profitably studied by anyone, whether or not he or she has bipolar disorder or knows someone who does."-- Metapsychology Online Book Reviews (on the previous edition), "A practical, straightforward book that will be a great help to those who have bipolar illness, as well as their families. I could not recommend this book more highly."--Kay Redfield Jamison, PhD, author ofAn Unquiet Mind "This book has been a faithful friend in the difficult time since my diagnosis. I particularly appreciate the insights into communicating effectively with doctors, family, and friends after an episode. The charts, lists, and practical tools are amazing for those of us who like to be proactive and organized. But the best part of the book is the quotations from others with the disorder who share their experiences and feelings. I've said some of these exact things myself; seeing them here helps me feel just a little bit less isolated and more hopeful."--N.B., Boulder, Colorado, "The author''s expertise, compassion, and experience are evident throughout....Well worth reading and remembering."-- NAMI Advocate (on the previous edition), "The author''s expertise, compassion, and experience are evident throughout....Well worth reading and remembering."--NAMI Advocate(on the previous edition), "A practical, straightforward book that will be a great help to those who have bipolar illness, as well as their families.
