Sample Book Insights:
#1 The most affectionate term for my mother’s sister is masi. For me and my sister, our mother’s family was the strongest force in our childhood. My mom’s sisters built the clichéd Indian American immigrant family, filled with doctors and married to them.
#2 My father, Charles Dunn, was a gentle giant who was raised as an evangelical Christian. He was a watchful protector and an ascetic who abstained from all forms of hedonistic consumption. He was a walking encyclopedia.
#3 I had no idea that my family’s history of mental illness and my own issues would be so closely intertwined. I grew up in a middle-class family in Chicago, and I didn’t have any sense of difference or uniqueness until I was in second grade, when my parents told me that they’d been speaking with the teacher about my skipping third grade.
#4 I was eight years old when I first heard the word entrepreneur. I was reading books by David Eddings and J. R. Tolkien, and cultivating my inner superhero complex, while my friend Gavin was reading Tolstoy and Zola. I envied Gavin’s family for having season tickets to the Chicago Bulls.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The most affectionate term for my mother’s sister is masi. For me and my sister, our mother’s family was the strongest force in our childhood. My mom’s sisters built the clichéd Indian American immigrant family, filled with doctors and married to them.

#2

My father, Charles Dunn, was a gentle giant who was raised as an evangelical Christian. He was a watchful protector and an ascetic who abstained from all forms of hedonistic consumption. He was a walking encyclopedia.

#3

I had no idea that my family’s history of mental illness and my own issues would be so closely intertwined. I grew up in a middle-class family in Chicago, and I didn’t have any sense of difference or uniqueness until I was in second grade, when my parents told me that they’d been speaking with the teacher about my skipping third grade.

#4

I was eight years old when I first heard the word entrepreneur. I was reading books by David Eddings and J. R. Tolkien, and cultivating my inner superhero complex, while my friend Gavin was reading Tolstoy and Zola. I envied Gavin’s family for having season tickets to the Chicago Bulls.

#5

I was the kid who’d run upstairs after losing a game of Monopoly and cry behind a lounge chair to hide my hurt. My skin was thin, and I didn’t have the armor most boys have by the time they get to high school. I began developing skills to pretend those feelings weren’t there.

#6

I was a high school student, and I was named most likely to be a millionaire for the yearbook. I was both flattered and surprised. I had no interest in business, and I wasn’t particularly coin-operated.

#7

I knew that joining a fraternity would mean a constant stream of parties, and I pledged at Sigma Chi. While a few of my friends went on to medical school, most of the brothers were interested in business.

#8

I had a friend in college who was doing some harder drugs, and his situation was never discussed. I had never had any mental health issues, and I didn’t do any hard drugs. I forgot or never knew that a sound mind is a gift that the good Lord can take away whenever he feels like it.

#9

I was charged with a crime in my sophomore year of college, possession of false identification, after my fraternity brothers helped me get fake IDs. I’d never felt both anger and sadness before, and I was terrified.

#10

The front door of our rental house was wide open. We were splayed out on the porch, without jackets, but not cold. We were of this world, but we were not in it. We had eaten the mushrooms on an omelet.

#11

I began to experience hypomania, which is a mild form of mania. I was obsessively goal-oriented and extremely distractible. I was also beginning to lie to help my friends feel better.

#12

I was hypomanic, talking excitedly about the guy I just met who I was going to marry. I was also on a college campus where the norm was staying out late, having weird conversations, and abusing substances.

#13

I become a walking stereotype, a Northwestern undergrad in jeans and an Abercrombie Fitch sweater, as I moonlight as a remedy to the world’s ills. I transform into the liability in chief.

#14

I had been with Camila, and we had agreed to have a baby. I was speaking to birds, and my housemates were gravely concerned. I had been awake for three nights, but I was not mentally tired at all.

#15

I was ready to apply these ideas to my own family. In my manic mind, Dad colonized Mom. I was teaching my father that he was failing to grasp his own unconscious preferences for white culture, and how this lack of awareness embodied the worst of white men everywhere.

#16

When I was admitted to the psych ward, I was excited to start my recovery. I was extremely dehydrated, and the first priority for an admitted manic patient is sleep. I slept for sixteen hours that first night.
