Peter Goodman provides a provocative autobiographical encounter with the reality of bipolar disorder. It's the untold story of being humiliated, misdiagnosed, over and under medicated, in denial and still alive. This raw account cuts through the traditional self-help rhetoric no other book serves up on the subject. Using wit as a strategy to break through the stigma of the disease, Peter finds humor in his past to help others navigate through the quagmire created by mental illness.
