{"product_id":"9781461626794","title":"Riding the Windhorse: Manic-Depressive Disorder and the Quest for Wholeness","description":"In this moving account of his struggles with manic-depressive disorder, distinguished philosopher Robert S. Corrington, creator of the school of ecstatic naturalism, presents a compelling argument for rethinking the nature of this malady. Having inherited the disorder from his mother, a gifted actress who struggled with her own form of it until her death, he developed crucial survival strategies that he recommends to other sufferers. In \u003ci\u003eRiding the Windhorse\u003c\/i\u003e, Corrington details the latest medical, psychological, and spiritual thinking about bipolar disease; a disorder characterized by extreme mood swings and responsible for many untimely deaths each year. Surprisingly, however, manic-depression is also found in almost all forms of genius and Corrington presents two detailed case studies showing this correlation. \u003ci\u003eRiding the Windhorse\u003c\/i\u003e represents one person's eventual triumph over a potentially crippling disease by demonstrating how creativity and the quest for wholeness can support the erratic flight of the windhorse of manic-depression.","brand":"Hamilton Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125780791536,"sku":"9781461626794","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781461626794_p0.jpg?v=1769889168","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781461626794","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
