I agree that this is a disturbing article. It obviously reads like something written by someone who is currently hypomanic. If overcoming bipolar disease was really so straightforward, there wouldn't be millions of people suffering from it and debilitated from it. If the solution was as straightforward as the author implies, everyone would have tried it, and it would be pretty obvious that it works.
The truth is, it doesn't. I wish the author the best, but he doesn't sound cured to me. He will very likely relapse.
I'm a geek, I love Star Wars, Star Trek: TNG, and I love reading science fiction by Asimov and Crichton.
But Ender's Game and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy are two of the worst books I have ever read. I got about a third through both of them and threw them in the trash. Sorry, but they are truly awful. Ender's Game has a very childish and incredibly boring writing style, as if that was the author's high school attempt at a novel. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has some good writing, I will give him that -- he is a skilled writer. But the humor is so not funny I couldn't bear reading it.
