        This intriguing guide to bipolar disorder is well designed and geared toward those suffering from the disorder and their family and friends. Narrator Kris Koscheski delivers the book’s complex information with the utmost professionalism and empathy in this audio edition. He is responsible for making the at times rather complex research sound interesting and comprehendible to listeners. It’s no easy feat, but luckily Koscheski is able to relate the material swiftly and smoothly, without sounding condescending in his approach and tone. The result is a family-friendly self-help guide that takes the stigma out of bipolar disorder and allows it to be approached in a thoughtful manner. A Guilford paperback.
