Our books are signed by the author!
Crazy to be more pious ‒ Entries from the travel diary of a manic offers a life-flavored tour of a bipolar sufferer's journey in the heart of Europe. The reader gets to experience the depths of madness when the narrator opens up about his special experiences and explores the essence of mixing.
Written with warmth and humor, the work boldly breaks taboos. It forces us to think about and live with madness that we would rather close our eyes to.
What does the world look like through the eyes of a psychotic? Why is it that in some old cultures, crazy is considered a sign of talent, and here we lock up the crazy? Could the stigma of a mental health problem be slowly gotten rid of? What is the connection between madness and spirituality?
More pious than crazy is a new, hopeful speech for a more open approach and a more humane world.
Heli Hietanen (b. 1978) is a simultaneous interpreter working around the world who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
