About the Book:
There is More than the Madness. This book gives readers a glimpse into the life of someone living with bipolar disorder. It's not a clinical book filled with facts and figures, but rather a book of humanity. "More than the Madness" explores the many facets of Kaniecki's life, including stories of abuse, experimentation with drugs and alcohol, inpatient stays on psych wards, a night in jail, hitchhiking across America, and his time in a third world country. Through it all Kaniecki gives the reader a personal look into his life as a manic depressive. His stories are sad, shocking, and often funny as he shares his antics while at his most manic and delusional. Throughout his journey, Kaniecki also struggles with his faith in God, and "More than the Madness" serves as a testament of one man's journey to grow closer to God while gaining a better understanding of himself.John Kaniecki is an author and poet. His published work, which has been published in over eighty outlets, includes several poetry collections, horror books, and a science fiction anthology. He was born in Brooklyn, New York and grew up in Pompton Plains, New Jersey. Kaniecki presently lives in Montclair with his wife Sylvia and is a volunteer minister at the Church of Christ at Chancellor Avenue.
