The book does a great job at describing that logic." -National Alliance of Mental Illness/NAMI's The Advocate.

A must read for anyone who loves someone that is bipolar SeptemberBlue I wish I had read this so much sooner. The clinical descriptions on medical and psychology websites or in the same kind of books do NOT begin to help anyone understand what is going on inside a bipolar person's mind. My fiancee was bipolar and it was hard for me to comprehend what he was going through esp when he talked about voices he heard. I found this book on Amazon along with Madness: A Bipolar Life and had just started reading this one first when he passed away from lung canc. Awesome read! Kindle Customer I highly recommend this book to any person or caregiver of a person suffering from bipolar disorder. The book is well written, balanced, and doesn't represent bipolar disorder from a radical, extremist way. The author gives us an inside view of her life with bipolar disorder that any person living with this disease can relate to. After all the hard work the author put in I was so happy to see her find peace and wellness in her life.. Amazon Customer said Such entertaining bravery and self awareness. The best type of book for me both entertains and teaches. This book does that "in spades"I could not put in down as I both laughed and cried. Throughout the author so exquisitely reveals her fascinating story. Even if you do not know a person with bipolar disorder, I think most would find it educational and uplifting reading.
wendykwilliamson and twobipolarchicks.. Her second book, Two Bipolar Chicks Guide to Survival: Tips for Living With Bipolar Disorder, co-written with author Honora Rose, was published by Post Hill Press in early 2014.Wendy has written for Bipolar for Dummies: 2nd Edition, BP Magazine and The Two River Times. Her book has been reviewed by Publisher's Weekly and National Alliance on Mental Illness
With her perceptive self-awareness, the author is equal parts comedienne and educator, and she tells the unbelievable highs and lows of her story with a clear, grounded candor.. With heart-wrenching honesty and humor, she shows the effects of bipolar disorder on the mind, body and soul of those who suffer from it. Despite Wendy's struggles, this is a not a book that brings the reader down, rather a road map for wellness and a vastly informative, yet entertaining, guided tour of bipolar disorder for those who don't understand it. Just as a photographer might shoot a photo through a colored lens, Wendy Williamson skillfully holds up the filter of mania and depression for her reader to peer through
