Through a friend and an American specialist, the bipolar author of these delightful chronicles was relieved to discover he was not alone: a long list of famous figures such as Salvador Dalí, Beethoven, Isaac Newton, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Tom Waits, Elizabeth Taylor, and Francis Ford Coppola are also, or were, bipolar. If among his peers there are so many with enviable resumes, he reasoned, all is not lost. In his new book, \"Chronicles of a Bipolar Disorder,\" the author recounts episodes from his life and portrays with great humor periods in which bipolar disorder may or may not have influenced certain attitudes and decisions. And it is precisely this feeling of relief that Marcelo conveys by defocusing the depressive aspects of the illness and exposing, through accessible and entertaining texts, the eccentric routine governed by bipolar disorder. There are many thoughts, many ideas, many concerns—all very intense. Having worked at several advertising agencies in Rio de Janeiro, Marcelo shows himself to be an entrepreneurial and creative person. In the book, he lets the reader draw their own conclusions about the influence of the disease on his life. Marcelo is still searching for this answer, which may be the key to understanding several facts. Creative fury is one of them. The advertiser is responsible for projects as interesting as they are unusual. In 1980, for example, it was enough to discover that the name of the highly anticipated Halley's Comet had not been registered in either Brazil or the US for Marcelo to immediately abandon his solid career at a large company and venture into making the phenomenon his trademark. His comet: megalomania, naiveté, recklessness, or a mere effect of the disease? Remember, we're talking about someone who, upon being told that his stolen car was parked in perfect condition in front of a certain house in the heart of the Complexo do Alemão favela, doesn't hesitate: he sneaks there, armed with the spare key, to get back what's rightfully his. These and other unusual stories, both from crises and periods of normalcy, are gathered here to satisfy the reader's curiosity about what bipolar behavior might be like. Or, who knows, maybe even recognize himself.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176802730236,"sku":"9788501087003","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/8add281def4ca66fe14015cc7c076f9a_ca3ad06d-8bd5-49b7-86a3-93558992b55e.jpg?v=1779506381"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/marcelo-c-p-diniz.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
