Zotti shares with the reader his life as a creative person living with bipolar disorder. The text is intended for clinicians or people working in a mental health care setting. The first part of the book looks solely at Zotti's life, condition, and effects his condition has on his day to day world. The second part delves into varying treatments for bipolar disorder, and describes and critiques them accordingly. A large reference section is included. Zotti allows transcripts of counseling sessions to be included in the text; his main goal is to give the reader an inside look at an intelligent and creative person who happens to suffer a serious mental illness. He intends to show himself as a whole person as opposed to just an illness. The book includes poems and artwork by the author as well.
