I figure that if I have to endure the worst parts of bipolar disorder, like psychosis, I get to laugh as much as possible along the way. Somewhere Over the Rainbow, I've Lost My Damn Mind: A Manic's Mood Chart is the story of one Millennial's bipolar life, with moments ranging from the ridiculous to the terrifying to the hilarious. Blending pop culture references and cyberspeak with psychiatric terms, it combines the funny, conversational tone of Sh*t My Dad Says with a nonlinear narrative...

In 2008, I was diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder, Type I, featuring psychotic manic episodes characterized by thoughts of grandeur, delusions, and hallucinations. Often when I open up about that to someone who knows me, I get, "What's that like?" I guess I don't exactly fit their perception of someone with a mental health issue. I'm not like that person they see in the media, the one who lives with something like bipolar disorder and all its negative stereotypes and stigma. I like tho...

The author seeks to look at life and Christianity from God's perspective, or through God's glasses. This provides a fresh view of how God relates to the world, one that is more relevant to the modern reader, yet staying within the church's historical teachings. The 8th edition has improved readability over earlier editions. Memorable phrases such as "God couldn't love you any more than he already does" give pause for thought and encourage faith. Theological terms are avoided and where they...

Leseempfehlung von Barack Obama: »Dieses Buch ist Pflichtlektüre für alle, die fortschrittlich denken und etwas über einen politischen Entwurf erfahren wollen, wie der Staat reformiert werden müsste, um der arbeitenden Bevölkerung wieder neu dienen zu können.«Die globale Geschichte des 21. Jahrhunderts ist eine Geschichte der Knappheit, ganz gleich, ob es um Wohnungen geht, um Arbeitskräfte, um Technologien oder um saubere Energie. Dabei hat sich die gegenwärtige K...

Raccontare il XXI secolo, fin qui, significa raccontare una storia di crescente scarsità. Una crisi abitativa sempre più acuta, soprattutto nelle grandi città; la coesistenza paradossale di disoccupazione e carenza di lavoratori in settori strategici; filiere produttive che si rivelano fragili dopo decenni di delocalizzazione. E, nonostante gli avvertimenti sul cambiamento climatico, gli investimenti nelle infrastrutture energetiche restano largamente insufficienti. Dagli Stati Uniti all'E...

Nada "se vuelve viral". Si crees que una película, canción o app popular surgió de la nada para convertirse, de boca en boca, en un éxito, te estás perdiendo la historia real. Cada éxito de taquilla tiene una historia secreta de poder, influencia, emisoras oscuras y cultos apasionados que convierten algunos productos nuevos en fenómenos culturales. Incluso las ideas más brillantes se marchitan en la oscuridad si no se conectan a la red correcta.En su pionera investigación, el edito...
