How Do I Find Hope When I Feel Hopeless? with CEO Whisperer, Lisa Arie

Everyone has mental health challenges from time to time. The decisions we make determine whether our outcome is positive or negative. By taking care of ourselves and getting enough sleep, eating the right food and consistently exercising, we are setting ourselves on the right path for success.

Sara Schley is a successful entrepreneur and author, and the aim of her work is to make the world a kinder and more inclusive place. She also happens to be bipolar, and her recently published memoir, BrainStorm: From Broken to Blessed on the Bipolar Spectrum, tells the story of how she made peace with her bipolar brain. BrainStorm is now available wherever you get your books and audiobooks on the web.

Early praise for Sara's book, BrainStorm - "BrainStorm is a masterful autobiography about Sara Schley's lived experiences with bipolar disorder II, poignantly capturing the danger of years of misdiagnosis, the perils of antidepressant monotherapy, and the lack of understanding about bipolar spectrum disorders in the psychiatric community. This is an essential and hugely helpful first-person narrative account of what it is like to live with BD II that will increase awareness and decrease stigma and inspire others who struggle with BD II. I fervently hope that the books is read by a wide audience." - Dr. Holly Swartz, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh
"I vividly remember reading BrainStorm for the first time, reaching page three, and breaking into tears. Here was someone describing exactly how I felt, as if they were inside of my brain, at a time when I didn't even understand what I was feeling. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say this book changed, if not saved, my life, for which I am forever grateful." - James Harrison, University of Berkeley Sophomore
