5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, 12 Jun 2004

Colin Ashworth (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stop Paddling/Start Sailing (Paperback)

I have read Stop Paddling three times and have to say it is a truly amazing book. I was afraid it would be depressing considering it is the story of a lifelong manic depressive but there was no dwelling on the bad times. Although my own journey through life has been smoother than that for the author I can easily relate to the boating analogy of the main story. But the cleverest thing I found was how he explains about "memes", which previously I had not understood at all. His ideas of there being something other than paddling and other than drifting through life are inspiring. I highly recommend this easy to read book.

5.0 out of 5 stars now it makes sense, 6 Nov 2007

reklaw "pp" (uk) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stop Paddling/Start Sailing (Paperback)

This book is well written and easy to read, either in one session or a few short 'bites'. Being married to someone with bipolar meant that before reading this I could never quite understand what was going on. Now the book has made everything so real and easy to relate to. I can now be more tolerant, and hopefully understanding, when i need to be. This book has changed my view of bipolar forever.
