"Jamison's [strength] is in the gutsy way she has made her disease her life's work and in her brilliant ability to convey its joys and its anguish." The Washington Post

“It stands alone in the literature of manic depression for its bravery, brilliance and beauty.” – Oliver Sacks on An Unquiet Mind
