Reviews
"An invaluable memoir of manic depression, at once medically knowledgeable, deeply human and beautifully written . . . at times poetic, at times straightforward, always unashamedly honest." - The New York Times Book Review "Stands alone in the literature of manic-depression for its bravery, brilliance and beauty." -Oliver Sacks "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. . . . Extraordinary." - Washington Post Book World "The most emotionally moving book I've ever read about the emotions." -William Safire, The New York Times Magazine "Written with poetic and moving sensitivity . . . a rare and insightful view of mental illness from inside the mind of a trained specialist." - Time "Enlighting . . . eloquent and profound." - San Francisco Chronicle "Piercingly honest. . . . Jamison's literary coming-out is a mark of courage." - People "Brave, insightful, richly textured and chillingly authentic." - Boston Globe "A riveting portrayal of a courageous brain alternating between exhilarating highs and numbing lows." -James D. Watson, Nobel laureate and author of The Double Helix "In a most intimate and powerful telling, Jamison weaves the personal and professional threads of her life together. . . . [She] brings us inside the disease and helps us understand manic depression. . . . What comes through is a remarkably whole person with the grit to defeat her disease." - Cleveland Plain Dealer "A riveting read. I devoured it at a single sitting and found the book almost as compelling on a second read. . . . An Unquiet Mind may well become a classic. . . . Jamison sets an example of courage." -Howard Gardner, Nature "Stunning. . . . [An] exquisite (in both a literary and medical sense) autobiography. . . . This is an important, wonderful book." - Jackson Clarion Ledger "Extraordinary. . . . An Unquiet Mind must be read." - The New England Journal of Medicine "A beautiful, funny, original book. Powerfully written, it is a wonderful and important account of mercurial moods and madness. I absolutely love this book." -Pat Conroy, author of The Prince of Tides "A landmark. . . . The combination of the intensity of her personal life and the intellectual rigor of her professional experience make the book unique. . . . A vibrant and engaging account of the life, love and experience of a woman, a therapist, an academic, and a patient." - British Medical Journal "Affecting, honest, touching . . . fluid, felt and often lyrical." -Will Self, The Observer (London) "Quite astonishing. . . . Cuts through the dead jargon and detached observations of psychiatric theory and practice to create a fiery, passionate, authentic account of the devastation and exaltation, the blindness and illumination of the psychotic experience." - The Sunday Times (London) "Rises to the poetic and has a mystical touch. . . . A courageous and fascinating book, a moving account of the life of a remarkable woman." - The Daily Telegraph (London) "Fast-paced, startlingly honest and frequently lyrical. . . . Jamison has] a novelist's openness of phrase and talent for bringing character alive." - Scotland on Sunday "Superbly written. . . . A compelling work of literature." - Independent on Sunday (London), "An invaluable memoir of manic depression, at once medically knowledgeable, deeply human and beautifully written . . . at times poetic, at times straightforward, always unashamedly honest." - The New York Times Book Review "Stands alone in the literature of manic-depression for its bravery, brilliance and beauty." -Oliver Sacks "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. . . .
