"If you live with chronic illness (mental OR physical), (I happen to live w/both) you will benefit greatly by reading this book: "This War Within My Mind: Based on the blog..." by John Poehler. In this book, John Poehler outlines step-by-step ways he (& thus the reader) can avoid, recover, &/or overcome a lot of the pitfalls of bipolar disorder. My mental diagnosis is different & I have widespread chronic pain. But I apply his principles & am so motivated especially with hope by his unstoppable positivity. The book is written very intelligently, with clarity & detail, but in such a way it is easily understood by the reader. I'm so happy I got his book!!!!" - Lynne
