I'm Not Crazy Just Bipolar
A memoir skillfully filtering depression and mania much like a photographer would shoot through a lens. This is a vastly informative and entertaining book by popular, two-time bestselling author and Huff Post contributor."Williamson's prose is direct and thankfully not given to flowery language or circumspectness about her condition. The book is straightforward and the author achieves something difficult in a memoir: she remembers feelings from a period of her life, while still providing distance and perspective. Williamson's analysis of the mental health field and mental health professionals is insightful without being preachy, and she presents her story with grace and humor."- Publisher's Weekly " "Skillfully weaves together several levels of a young woman's life... [It] is, like its title, an assertion that a life touched by bipolar disorder is still a life with its own logic. The book does a great job at describing that logic." -The Advocate, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)

Pirsig, 1962 More than a decade before the release of the book that would make him famous, Robert M. Pirsig had already caught hold of the central theme that would animate Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: “Quality,” a concept loosely likened to “excellence,” “rightness,” or “fitness” that Pirsig saw as kindred to the Buddhist ideas of “dharma” or the ...
