Summary: DOWNER!
Review: "Dear World" is "an attempt" to understand the illness of bipolar and suicide - - but it's a downer and not exactly a motivational piece of writing (or a good one).The author whines about his illness, which certainly doesn't give people the impetus to get well. And it's a pamphlet - - it's not a book - - so it's a hefty price to pay for a thin tome.

Summary: Real World
Review: I have read this book 5 times in 3 days. All I can say is while it is harsh and strong, it is dead to rights on when it comes to how this illness effects you. The reviewer who stated the writer whines about his illness must be a doctor who has no clue because he/she can not possibly have the illness. This is not a pamphlet and even if it was it was worth every dime.
All should read but, those who suffer will get a lot more out of it.

Summary: Powerful
Review: My husband has suffered from depression for many years and for the first time, I understand the devastating thoughts and emotions that run through his mind that he's powerless to control. This book helped me understand that writing is powerful - it is a tool that can take a person from thoughts of suicide to renewed hope for living and insight into what's really important in one's life. I hope to use what I've learned from this book to encourage my husband to share his thoughts on paper even if he cannot do it with me at times.
