As a newly diagnosed bipolar one, I'm happy to find this kind of information since they're helping to cope, understand and move on. What's more amazing in this book is that nothing is hidden even the hard time : what's even more amazing is that it's done in a non threatening way. We can prevail. We're not stained - it's just another thing that has to be taken into account.
Now I'm gonna let people around me read it so they can understand what I'm going thru and get a better feeling of it.
Loved it !

This is not a book for a person at the throws of the bipolar disorders. In an episode of mania, depression and mixed state one could not grasp how to cope because of the state that one is in. With that said it is a good book for if someone during a time od euthymia (normal baseline of mood).
Working through the book I found that there are things that I can improve on and will as I catch myself in certain things like noticing my stress level is at it maxing point or understanding the difficulty of a challenge- example course load for college. The graphs are easy to follow (but sometimes hard to do like the history of your medication especially when there is a gap in memory than to the disorder)
Overall it is a good book for someone who has found some stability and is willing to work through the disorder to prevent relapse or minimize the episode duration.
