Sample Book Insights: #1 I grew up in a family with a brother who was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 31. I felt relieved to learn that I was the neurotypical one. I spent four years working with the Harvard Department of Psychiatry, studying the brain cells and circuitry of people who were diagnosed as normal-control and those with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. #2 I was a successful neuroscientist, and I was also a board member of NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. I was helping people like my brother while at the same time keeping my finger on the pulse of research and public policy. #3 I was born with a brain disorder that caused me to lose the ability to speak, understand language, and process sensory information. I experienced myself as an energy ball that was as big as the universe. I could not turn off these emotions, and they enriched my perception of experience. #4 When we are emotionally triggered, it takes less than 90 seconds for the emotion to flood through us and then flush completely out of our bloodstream. If there is no repeated trigger, the emotional circuit will run its course and stop after 90 seconds.
