From Kay Redfield Jamison - an international authority on manic-depressive illness, and one of the few women who are full professors of medicine at American universities - a remarkable personal testimony: the revelation of her own struggle since adolescence with manic-depression, and how it has shaped her life. Vividly, directly, with candor, wit, and simplicity, she takes us into the fascinating and dangerous territory of this form of madness - a world in which one pole can be the alluring dark land ruled by what Byron called the "melancholy star of the imagination," and the other a desert of depression and, all too frequently, death. A moving and exhilarating memoir by a woman whose furious determination to learn the enemy, to use her gifts of intellect to make a difference, led her to become, by the time she was forty, a world authority on manic-depression, and whose work has helped save countless lives.

Perfect Chaos - Jodi Ellen Malpas Ty and Lainey meet in the neighborhood bar before she starts working for his partner at their company. He finally feels the "ping" his Dad told him about that he would get when he meets "the one". There is a non fraternization policy at work and they both appear to be major players.... It definitely makes for a LOT of drama. The book is told only in Ty's POV... The hero is head over heels for the heroine. The funny thing is that Ty is pretty clueless. He has a hard time dealing with his feelings and has a hard time accepting what they could be.
