In his two-part book, Jerome gives us a panoramic view into the workings of his agile mind and creative genius . . . Book One gives sensible but uncommon advice on creating art that also enhances numerous coping skills. . . In Book Two . . . Jerome describes the confusion and fear when a promising young mind goes awry.” -- Rosalynn Carter

Interesting book enjoyed it

This non fiction book was good. I enjoyed Jerome's comments on color and the life lessons he learned from art. Recovery is important for those who experience mental illness. I recommend this book.
