5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, 13 Jun 2004
By Colin Ashworth (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews
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 Stopping paddling, 20 Jan 2006
I got this book on a course Roger ran and didn't know what to expect. It is a treasure - accurately and poetically describing aspect of mental health as well as offering some interesting insights into memetics.
It is easy to read and worth going back to.
Thanks Roger

5.0 out of 5 stars Stop Paddling/Start Sailing, 26 Nov 2004
I came accross this book by chance.
It was a real eye opener. Although I have not experienced the problems of the author, I felt it was easy to relate to and all of us could benefit from a bit more sailing.
I would recommend the book to anyone who has laid awake at night with many thoughts in their mind and could only worry and not get back to sleep.
Face up to the flow of the river, and use it to your advantage you can't change it.
