THE CHRONICLES OF MANIA

This book is not about bipolar disorder but, rather, what the severe mania and delusions associated with the illness can do to someone when it is unknown, unchecked, and unbridled for more than fifty years! Brian Walkers entire life has been ruled and governed by the mania that results from being bipolar. This mania has driven him to do things so far and beyond the grade that, in many cases, his actions and behaviors seem to defy all boundaries of sensibility. Whether its building a two-man submarine to explore the subsea world in Fiji to inventing a toy of unbelievable success to creating a rocket to be the first person to the edge of space in a home-built missile, he has always pushed the limits of sanity in many of his projects. Even after decades of failures, where seemingly everything that he attempted to do was relegated to the trash heap of broken dreams, he always lived by the saying Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm! Trying to thrive and survive in a normal world with an abnormal brain has never been easy. His life has been an ongoing effort to discover the next big thing, as well as to just be able to get through another day. And his journey thus far has been an amazing one!
