The Bipolar Advantage Book

'The Bipolar Advantage' is a new book that covers the principles explored in the Bipolar In Order Workshop. The basic concept is that Bipolar is not just an illness, it is a condition that has both bad and good aspects. Finding the good traits of the bipolar mind and turning them into an advantage is the first step in changing bipolar from a personal nightmare into a life worth living.

By honestly facing and seeing all of the different aspects of the bipolar condition, we can come to a better understanding of who we are and how we are functioning. Learning to accept who we really are instead of who we imagine ourselves to be is the first step to improving our lives. Acceptance does not mean surrender. It means loving yourself just the way you are while striving to change the things you don't want.

We all look in the mirror to make sure our outside appearance is acceptable, but how many of us closely look within to see what our interior life is like? Introspection is the process of looking within to examine our thoughts, our actions, and our interior spiritual life. Introspection is the key to knowing who you really are.

Habits control every aspect of our lives. Habits are neither good nor bad; they are simply the tendency to repeat a thought or action that becomes stronger with every repetition. Learning how our habits work and learning how to change the bad habits into good habits are the keys to taking control of our lives.

Sex and drugs are often abused among those afflicted with the bipolar condition. Both topics are very sensitive, yet must be addressed in any honest analysis of the condition.

Relationships are often the first casualty of Bipolar. Understanding the dynamics of relationships and how the bipolar condition affects them can make the difference between a life of loneliness and one of support and understanding.

These topics and more are covered in the book as well as in the Bipolar In Order Workshop. You can read the Table of Contents and the first two chapters of the book right on this website if you are interested.
