Oliver Seligman did not think for one second that he would become a writer, let alone be the author of three books!
Graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Zoology, he found himself working as a sales trader in investment banks in London and New York. Although he wanted to make millions, retire by thirty-five and live happily ever after, it didn't work out that way. Bored, disillusioned and lacking purpose, he stumbled across a pair of mysterious, meditating monks who taught him how to find peace, and never looked back.
In Oliver's latest book, Befriending Bipolar: A Patient's Perspective, he describes what it's like to experience madness from the inside. Diagnosed with bipolar type one at seventeen, he has battled euphoric manias, suicidal depressions, bewildering psychoses and the side effects of medication for over thirty years. In Befriending Bipolar, Oliver reveals how he found peace with an illness that destroys lives and sometimes ends them.
Recently, he has been the recipient of the 2024 Fresh Start Award, which includes a $10,000 grant to promote Metabolic Psychiatry given out by the non-profit Metabolic Mind!
We are also joined by his lovely wife, Elle, whom he has been married to for over 11 years! The couple live in Norway!
