Hey Everybody! I hope this message finds you well. I want to share my latest piece for the International Bipolar Foundation, which covers some of the theoretical influences behind The Body of Chris. There are no real "answers" offered in my book (largely intentional), but this article might provide good direction for those interested in further exploration.
"With bipolar disorder, particularly manic psychosis, there are often peak experiences of undeniable spiritual profundity, but the extent to which those insights are integrated will ultimately be the measure of their usefulness."
You can read the full article here: http://ibpf.org/blog/bipolar-order-discovering-spiritual-integration-through-transpersonal-psychology
I remain tremendously grateful for your support and the opportunities afforded through this chance to tell my story. If you know someone who may benefit, please forward this email to them.
Best regards,
Chris
Friends, Readers, and Sorcerers All,
Dear Readers,
Dear Authors,
We are no longer offering signed copies as part of the incentive package for pre-ordering a book. As our author base has expanded globally, it has become logistically impractical to offer this option. In many cases, it makes it much more difficult to get books to backers prior to the publication date.
What does this mean for books currently in production? For both Inkshares and Quill, we are going to work with the author to find a solution that works best for them and their backers. In some cases, a signed book option will still be practical; in other cases, it might make more sense to have a signed insert like a bookmark or print. Of course, where backers don’t wish to have an unsigned book, we will refund their order.
We value our authors and readers dearly and regret any frustration that this may have caused.
