GUEST BIO: 

After a series of hospitalizations and a lot of bad behavior, George Hofmann managed to overcome the worst of bipolar disorder by adding practices in focused attention to the usual therapies of medicine and talk. He teaches others with anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder how to do the same. He maintains the site "Practicing Mental Illness," which promotes meditation, movement and meaningful work as keys to growth and healing.
