Just a quote for the day 🤗📚
During this blog we turn the Authors Spotlight onto Lukas Klessig and his book “Words With My Father: A Bipolar Journey Through Turbulent Times”.
Words With My Father offers a gripping portrait of the evolution of a young man's mental illness and how it manifested into a dramatic and often dangerous existence through the turbulence of the Civil Rights, Peace and Conservation movements.

pickIt's a funny story how I got into this book. I really enjoyed the Amazon show 'Modern love', through that I got to know about the podcast, then the episode by Terri and then finally her book. Bipolar disorder has interested me for various reasons and honestly it's a really good account of her experience. A vivid and overwhelming account of something that is so common yet unknown to people.
As for the book, I definitely liked it.
4/5🌟

pick“How could I ever hope to tell a normal person about the terrors of being happy? Unless there was a damned good reason for it…happiness wasn‘t a safe harbor for me. It was just another checkpoint on the road to mania.”
This memoir was compellingly profound. I have loved ones and close friends that have bipolar disorder, and I don‘t know nearly as much as I imagined I did about what life is like for them on a daily basis.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I started listening to this audiobook last night when I learned that Anne Hathaway was portraying the author in Amazon‘s series Modern Love. This is compelling! I came to the library for a physical copy to read when I can‘t listen and for her sequel, THE DARK SIDE OF INNOCENCE.
