"To discover to the world something which deeply concerns it, and of which it was previously ignorant; to prove to it that it had been mistaken on some vital point of temporal or spiritual interest, is as important a service as a human being can render to his fellow creatures..." John Stuart Mill, "On Liberty"

Nothing Was the Same
Kay Redfield Jamison, in her best selling THE UNQUIET MIND, was a guide in understanding the nature of depression, bipolar disorder and the chemistry of the brain. Now, in her memoir Nothing Was the Same, she turns her attention to understanding the psychology and physiology of grief and grieving. In these troubled times, and as baby boomers age and face the tragedies of love and loss and suddenly being alone in the world, Jamison's work provides powerful insights.
