Do not completely agree

Revisado: 08-31-20

Being diagnosed with bipolar 2 myself I Do agree with the treatment plan although there are some things I don't agree with. This book paints a picture that bipolar patients are on the extreme spectrum and that non bipolar people will experience extreme stress. Not all bipolar patients are extreme. Those who are, are not as common as the media portrays. If they are extreme those paitents most likely have not been diagnosed nor treated. Not all either have issues with work or finances or sex. This book also paints a picture that bipolar paitents due to their illness can't control their symptoms or that all of their moods are due to the disease and must always be treated sick. This is not true and one must view if their moods are bipolar or controlled. The book also says that love is a feeling and if those feelings are lost that one may consider leaving or not. Love is a verb. one must act to love. The feeling is the result of the action. Would a person not love someone if they have cancer? No. The same goes for bipolar. I know a few couples who also have one partner with bipolar who not only have the illness treated and controlled, they and their kids also have a very happy life. It is possible not impossible.

Excellent tips but may need extra considerations

Revisado: 08-25-20

All the strategies in this book are top notch and are great tools in my opinion for college and for those considering a formal education. Although, as a suggestion future editions, if any, should include considerations that affect college students which directly or indirectly affect their grade such as Proffesional work, family (i.e. working full time, poverty, raising children, etc), physical or mental disabilities and(or) illnesses (i.e. adhd, bipolar, autism, etc). The books perspective is that of a poster child college student who is able to commit full time to formal education, who has the resources and no illnesses rather than consisering the various challenges previously stated above. This is why I gave the book a 4 rather than a 5.
In addition as another suggestion writing a book for those who don't pursue college. Examples of people who dropped college are Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Mark Zukerberg, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, etc.
