I submitted the following story suggestion and request to be interviewed to CNN, Dr. Phil, The 700 Club, Oprah, and Dr. Oz. It would be helpful to those who have bipolar and depression and it would be informative and entertaining for viewers who do not.
“Build a Better Brain by Cracking-Up: How to use ‘bad’ emotions to live a better life.” I did it! And I will passionately teach your audience to do the same – without the full-blown crack-up that had me completing my masters in Psychology while I was locked on a Psych Ward. The crack-up that led to my book, “BLESSED with BIPOLAR” which you can preview at www.bipolarman.org
I will inform, entertain, inspire, and teach your audience to turn anger into assertiveness, depression to insight and empathy, anxiety to initiative, mania to creativity, delusions to goal-setting, and racing thoughts to a one-person brainstorming session. Imagine people coming to know – with real conviction – that their deepest pain will be their greatest joy.
I firmly believe that if you could pick which mental illness to have, bipolar would be the only sane choice. But the good news is that you don’t have to be “off-your-rocker” like me to get all the benefits of cracking-up. All you need are some “bad” emotions and I can teach you how to build a better brain.
