Reveals How to Become High Functioning or Super Advanced With Bipolar
Disorder, Sent to Them for FREE?”
Here is a Brand-New System Which
Uncovers the Secret Techniques Used by “High-functioning” People with
Bipolar Disorder Who Have Achieved Years of Stability and Success… and Who
Lead Happy, Healthy, Productive Lives
From: David Oliver,
Creator, “The Bipolar Supporter’s System”
RE: My Latest Bipolar Disorder Discovery
Dear Friend,
When you’re busy supporting your loved one with Bipolar Disorder ... do
you ever wish that they could be more like the person you believe is
really deep inside of them?
Do you wish they could keep a steady job ... build a
financially successful career doing something they love ...
maybe even start their own successful business ... engage in fun
hobbies ... enjoy an active social life ... surround themselves
with lots of supportive friends and loved ones ... have happy,
positive relationships with your family (even those relatives that
they’ve alienated during bipolar episodes) ... fall in love ... get
married ... raise confident, well-adjusted kids ...
travel the world ... and above all ...
... manage
their Bipolar Disorder so well
that no one would ever even guess
that they have a mental illness?
If you’re like the thousands of supporters of people with Bipolar
Disorder like I’ve met over the past 5 years, you’re saying, “YES, YES!”
Just like you’re probably saying, “But I have no idea what I need to DO to
make that happen!”
That’s why I’m writing today.
Hi, I’m David Oliver. Since you found this particular website, I’m
pretty sure that you know who I am – the author of “The Bipolar
Supporter’s Course” and “The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children
Edition.”
Since 2004, I’ve been the primary supporter for my mother, who’s
struggled with Bipolar Disorder all her life. That’s when she spiraled
into the worst bipolar episode she’s ever had – hitting such a low that I
secretly feared she’d never be independent again.
But today, my mom is not only stable, she’s 100% independent!
And she’s one of the most successful high-functioning people with
Bipolar Disorder that I know. (And I’m not just saying that because
she’s my mom!)
“What Does It Mean to be a High-functioning Person with
Bipolar Disorder?”
You won't find the term “high-functioning” in Webster's Dictionary. You
won’t find it as related to Bipolar Disorder in the DSM-IV manual used by
the American Psychiatric Association, either. There is no official
definition for “high-functioning.”
But I use the term anyway.
I use it to describe people who, despite having Bipolar Disorder,
are able to maintain a relatively normal lifestyle without manic and
depressive episodes that leave them unable to care for themselves or their
loved ones, to be independent, or to manage their own lives.
High-functioning people
maintain their stability
for years at a time — even
the rest of their lives.
Other common signs that a person is high-functioning despite having
Bipolar Disorder include:
- They use their time in meaningful, positive, productive ways
... such as family involvement, volunteer work, educational advancement,
church and social activities, clubs and community functions, hobbies,
and other interests and personally fulfilling activities.
- They do NOT need a caretaker to watch over them. They are
independent and participate in society in the same ways that people who
do not have Bipolar Disorder do. This participation includes social
activities, caring for others, performing normal day-to-day activities
such as shopping and food preparation, personal hygiene, meeting
commitments and having friends.
- They create and maintain a healthy lifestyle and are involved
in healthy activities.
- They have developed and/or repaired relationships so that
friends and family welcome their company and include them in their
get-togethers.
- They communicate and interact well with others.
- They meet obligations and commitments, and they accept
responsibility for their behavior in a situation.
- They make and keep all appointments, meetings, and other
scheduled activities, and have a system for managing them and keeping
track of them.
- They know how to enjoy themselves. They have a lot of fun
both with people who have Bipolar Disorder AND with those who don’t.
- They avoid situations and people which would cause too much
stress for them and potentially result in an episode.
- They have identified their own individual episode “triggers”
and have learned how to be ALERT to them, how to AVOID them, to be
ATTENTIVE to them, and, when necessary, to ACCEPT them and manage them.
- They set realistic goals for themselves and then accomplish
them (both long-term and short-term goals).
- They own businesses — large and small — and they are able to
manage them.
- They work LESS hours and make MORE money than others.
- They fully understand – and practice – the principles of
effective time management.
- They are able to fit easily into the community … and are
often called upon to help others.
- They enjoy long periods of stability … and make great
parents, teachers, friends, volunteers, and coworkers or bosses.
In summary, high-functioning people with Bipolar Disorder do NOT
exhibit behaviors that indicate they have Bipolar Disorder ... and they
live healthy, happy, and productive lives.
The key is…
that they manage the
Bipolar Disorder —
IT does not manage THEM.
Gosh, after reading that list, wouldn’t you love to help your loved one
with Bipolar Disorder to become a high-functioning person? I bet so! Which
means you’re probably wondering ...
How Can a Person with Bipolar Disorder Become
High-Functioning?
That’s a good question — a question that, a year ago, I wasn’t able to
answer. I was so focused on helping my mom get stable that I never even
considered whether she could ever become independent, much less
high-functioning.
But once my mom was stable and doing well, we both wanted to know what
limitations she had… if any. We wondered together: what could – and
couldn’t – she do?
“Could Mom manage her Bipolar Disorder without my help?” I asked
myself. Could she work? Could she volunteer? Could she travel?
Her new doctor said, “Everything within reason,” and gave us some
simple guidelines to follow. And today my mom is one of the most
successful high-functioning people with Bipolar Disorder that I know!
If you’ve followed my story, you know that I am completely honest. And
that if my mom were not high-functioning, I wouldn’t say it! But she is
truly a role model.
And remember she started way at the bottom of the “functional
capacities” scale ... where you’re so completely in the grips of Bipolar
Disorder that you can’t take care of yourself. You forget to bathe,
you forget to pay your bills, you can’t keep a job, you yell and scream at
people – you know the routine, right?
Yet now Mom is at the top of that same scale. She isn’t getting
calls from bill collectors. She doesn’t have vast and lengthy mood swings.
She isn’t getting into fights with family members and other people or
engaging in any other destructive bipolar behavior of the past. No more
screaming and yelling daily at me or my father. No more throwing things.
She frequently goes out with her friends. She even works part time!
Best of all,
she is 100% independent!
Basically, she is living a life that anyone would consider "normal"
– and she’s doing all of this while managing her Bipolar Disorder!
How Her Journey to “High-Functioning” is Going to
Benefit You…
After helping my mom become independent and high-functioning, I decided
I had to follow my gut feeling and get all of the powerful information we
found out to the world ... just like I did when I figured out the proper
way to support someone with Bipolar Disorder.
My first goal was pretty basic.
I wanted to find out why some people with Bipolar Disorder were so
highly functioning – able to sustain stability year after year …
successful as parents, teachers, community leaders, artists, writers, and
musicians … were able to maintain jobs and/or their own businesses, etc. –
while others were not.
After all, some people with Bipolar Disorder aren’t even successful
at taking care of their own basic personal and grooming needs! I
noticed that many of these people, considered “low-functioning” people
with Bipolar Disorder, were in and out of hospitals and institutions, and
never seemed to be able to “get a grip” on their disorder. I wanted to
know why they were constantly having problems … while other people can
“rise to the top” and master their Bipolar Disorder.
It was obvious that the differences between the two types of people
with the same disorder were as vast as night and day. But those
differences were too vague to clearly identify.
I figured that if I could find out exactly what those differences were…
I could help people who were “low-functioning” and dependent on others
to become as independent and “high-functioning” as I had helped my mom
to become.
Here’s what I discovered…
3 Key Differences Separate High- and Low-Functioning
People with Bipolar Disorder
The first two differences were the easiest to identify.
- Getting a proper diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder (vs.
depression or some other mental or physical illness).
- Being properly medicated.
But as you know, successfully achieving these two goals isn’t easy.
Getting an accurate diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder can take years. And
finding the proper combination and dosages of medications to adequately
normalize your brain chemistry can take months – even years – more.
But a proper diagnosis and medication isn’t enough to make someone
high-functioning with Bipolar Disorder. Rather, they’re
prerequisites–-they lay the foundation for your success; but alone, a
diagnosis and medication are not enough.
There are many people who have been diagnosed correctly and comply with
their medication plan. But they still can’t effectively manage their
Bipolar Disorder on a daily basis in such a way that they become
independent and high-functioning.
That’s the missing key– what high-functioning people do to manage their
Bipolar Disorder on a daily, hourly, and even minute-by-minute basis.
That’s the key difference (#3) between people who thrive despite the
disorder… and people who survive a limited existence.
My next step was crystal clear: Identify the specific behaviors,
characteristics, and attributes used by people with Bipolar Disorder to
become high-functioning. I knew that if I could pinpoint these traits, you
would be able to learn these patterns and help your loved one with Bipolar
Disorder use them to achieve high-functioning status.
A Shocking Standard I Set
To identify high-functioning people whose behavior was worth studying
and modeling, I applied the research techniques I learned in earning my
Sociology/Economics degree from Yale University. I set some pretty harsh
criteria to evaluate the people I was meeting.
My goal wasn’t to find just anyone who was doing well managing their
Bipolar Disorder. After all, then I could count all the celebrities you
hear about, like astronaut Buzz Aldrin, comedic actor Ben Stiller, and
singers Rosemary Clooney and Bobby Brown.
The problem is that celebrities are nothing like you or my mom. They
have the money and influence to keep the top medical teams at their beck
and call. They have the financial resources to hire a staff to take care
of their everyday stresses, like paying the bills, shopping for groceries,
and cleaning the house. They have the power to alter their schedule as
their Bipolar Disorder dictates… so if they need a week off to rest and
reduce their stress, they can.
So the first criteria I set is finding people who were remarkable in
that they have accomplished a lot despite their Bipolar Disorder, but who
could still be considered “regular” people.
The second test I set up is that I wanted to find successful people
with Bipolar Disorder who had started from rock bottom. Those that society
and most family members had given up on. Those that the legal system,
medical system, religious system, and others wanted to quietly lock away…
never to be seen or heard from again.
It wasn’t hard finding people who were down and out. The challenge was
finding role models who had been down and out – but who had overcome their
“rock bottom” beginnings and, against all odds, were able to accomplish
great things. I wanted people who had succeeded even when everyone
expected them to give up and fail – people who, by all rights, should have
failed.
I wanted these “rags to riches” Bipolar Disorder stories because the
people who have made the biggest changes in their lives are the ones who
have the most to teach about how to properly manage – and succeed despite
of – Bipolar Disorder.
Think about it. If you were ranking someone’s success on a scale of 1
to 10, would you learn more from Person A, who moved from a 4 to a 7… or
would you learn more from Person B, who moved from a -10 to a 9?
Person B, of course! Not only would you get practical strategies and
tips, you’re likely to get new ideas that doctors, therapists, experts,
and authors of books on Bipolar Disorder can’t (or won’t) tell you!
So off I went in search of “the worst of the worst.” And guess what?
It Was Really Difficult
The first place I sought information was Support Group meetings.
Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. After months of volunteering at
three different Support Groups (with near perfect attendance – I made it
to 48 meetings in total), I almost never met anyone that I felt was
high-functioning! I just didn't understand why this was so.
And then it hit me. (This is probably going to be a HUGE shock to you
as well.)
The most successful high-functioning
people with Bipolar Disorder
RARELY go to support group meetings.
Why? Here are the top reasons:
- High-functioning people don’t have time because they are busy living
their lives – in other words, doing the same things that people without
Bipolar Disorder do.
- People who used the meetings in the beginning to help themselves become
stable then “graduated” and didn’t come back. I guess it’s a lot like
going to high school – you never go back after graduation to let the kids
know how far you’ve come and why education is important; you just go on
with your life.
- Many of the very high-functioning people with whom I spoke felt that
there is too much self-pity and disorganization at most Support Groups,
ultimately driving them away from the meetings.
- Information offered at these meetings – if any – is sparse or
out-of-date.
One woman told me, “I don’t want to
sit in a meeting and listen to people
ramble on about their problems all night
long and not ever talk about solutions.”
Another major complaint is the time and gas it takes to get to and from
meetings. I'm not saying Support Groups are bad or that you should never
attend. In fact, some high-functioning people do choose to "give back" by
helping newly-diagnosed people with Bipolar Disorder through participating
in these groups.
But, today, with gas prices so high, people are being forced to budget
their finances where they think it will be most effective. And
unfortunately, Support Groups fall lower on the scale, because there isn’t
enough incentive for people to attend and, in many cases, more
disadvantages than advantages to attending.
Not to mention people are just so darn busy these days.
So if I couldn’t find high-functioning people with Bipolar Disorder at
Support Group meetings, I thought, where could I find them?
How I Finally Found the Most High-Functioning People and Learned Their Secrets for Managing Bipolar Disorder
The search for high-functioning people with Bipolar Disorder turned out
to be a lot more complicated, lengthy, and expensive than I ever dreamed.
So many times, I was so discouraged I wanted to give up.
But I kept going, because I knew that if I couldn’t bring this
information to you ... no one else would. I had received too many letters
telling me that very thing, and I just could not let it go.
Here’s what I finally had to do to track down high-functioning people
with Bipolar Disorder:
I started by creating a newsletter for people with Bipolar Disorder
(which has had over 77,000 subscribers). I spent more than $100,000 of my
own money on Google AdWords and other pay-per-click advertising to build
this list (and I have the invoices in my Stanhope, New Jersey, office to
prove it).
I read books, watched documentaries about high-functioning people with
Bipolar Disorder, spent hundreds of hours searching online, ordered almost
every book I could find on Bipolar Disorder … and then contacted the
authors and other professionals, asked for referrals, networked, studied
magazines and journals, put the word out on the street AND THEN I had to
ask those people to be interviewed or surveyed.
To find interview subjects, I jotted down the names of people I
“thought” would be high-functioning. And then I started running ads in my
newsletter and different magazines.
When I was done, I had a list of
1037 potential people to interview.
I sorted through this list, studying the questionnaires each potential
interview subject had submitted.
After my first round of cuts, I had 247 potential people to interview.
Then I began a second sorting process which brought that list down to 53
individuals to interview.
Then Things Got Interesting
Of the 53 people I interviewed, only 13 “made the grade” by meeting the
second set of criteria I had set to be included in this course:
- They had the answers to the questions you had asked me based on my
previous courses.
- They had new information to share.
- And/or they had developed systems that would help you become independent
and high-functioning yourself.
Many, many times, I would get halfway through an interview, only to
realize that the person I was interviewing had lied about what they had
told me in the pre-screening process. I would find out that they were not
on their medication, for example, and would have to abort the entire
interview.
In one day, I interviewed THREE people for more than 30 minutes each …
only to realize they were NOT high-functioning. They weren’t even close.
Many times, I was VERY discouraged.
Another time, I was almost completely done with the interview, only to
find out that the person had lied about having Bipolar Disorder at all!
Now please understand, I am NOT telling you this to gripe or complain
at all — simply to tell you how difficult the process actually was to
finally get high-quality interviews. I chose only the “best of the best”
for you — only the people who will truly help you, and not waste your time
as they did mine.
It was a HUGE project. I’ve spent over a year of my time and easily
more than $100,000! So when I speak in terms of cost vs. investment…
believe me, I understand the difference. I look at this project now as an
investment that will help people in a way that no one else has ever done
before.
Granted, I had a personal interest, because of wanting to help my mom
achieve even more. But this project became so much bigger than that — it
became an all-consuming passion for me to help other people with Bipolar
Disorder to become high-functioning and independent, as well.
Nowhere else will you find this type of information to help your loved
one with Bipolar Disorder become high-functioning!
How 99.99% Of People Become High-functioning
You see, there aren’t any resources out there to help you move beyond
just coping with Bipolar Disorder. One interview subject actually joked to
me, “Dave, it’s not like there is a course on how to be a success if you
have Bipolar Disorder.”
She was right! There wasn’t a course on how to be a success if you have
Bipolar Disorder.
Even my other courses don’t teach that. They teach you how to manage
your Bipolar Disorder… but not how to achieve the next level of success,
which is how to live a “normal” (or even “exceptional”) life in spite of
the fact that you have Bipolar Disorder!
Up until now, the only two choices you had to learn to become
high-functioning were:
- Learn the hard way. That is, try things on your own … over years or
decades … learning what works and doesn’t work. Some of the most
high-functioning people I've met took over 30 years of trial and error to
achieve real success.
- Learn from the mistakes of others who have managed to become
high-functioning themselves through the trial and error method.
You’re probably thinking that Option #2 is the best way to become
high-functioning. After all, it’s logical and commonsense to try to learn
from other people’s mistakes, right?
There’s Just One Huge Problem
The problem is that it’s darn near impossible to find high-functioning
people with Bipolar Disorder. It’s NOT because they don’t exist – they do.
Instead, it’s because the most highly functional people don’t advertise
the fact that they have Bipolar Disorder.
Heck, I discovered people VERY close to me who have lived with Bipolar
Disorder for YEARS – and yet I never knew!
Now I realize it is because these were extremely high-functioning
people. I found them only because I talk about Bipolar Disorder so much
that they opened up and shared with me. It’s not that they are ashamed;
it’s that there’s just no reason for them to tell people. They don't
exhibit behaviors that indicate they have Bipolar Disorder and they live
healthy, happy, productive lives.
As one person lightly put it, “Would I tell you I have fungus on my big
toe? No, I'd only discuss it if you happen to bring up fungus and toes.”
It took me more than a year of concentrated effort to find 13 people
with Bipolar Disorder who were high-functioning. And even though I don’t
know you personally, I’m pretty sure that there’s no way you could devote
a full 12 months and over $100,000 to finding these people on your own.
That’s why I’m so excited to finally be able to share these interviews
with you…
Introducing My New Bipolar Mastery System
The Bipolar Mastery System is designed for supporters of loved ones
with Bipolar Disorder who have already taken my earlier courses, are
familiar with the basics of Bipolar Disorder and would like to learn even
more.
The Bipolar Mastery System goes beyond teaching you how to help your
loved one simply exist with Bipolar Disorder. Your loved one will learn
how to become productive and happy while effectively managing their
Bipolar Disorder. The goal is to help your loved one become an
independent, high-functioning person with Bipolar Disorder — to manage the
disorder instead of IT managing THEM!
When you finish The Bipolar Mastery System, you’ll understand what a
person with Bipolar Disorder can truly accomplish! And you’ll be amazed at
how far you’ll be able to help your loved one advance in such a short
time!
Some of the people in this course were on crack cocaine and other
drugs, alcoholics, homeless, in jail, in hospitals and institutions, lost
every family member, lost jobs and were completely broke, etc. These
people were completely mistreated, lost and alone. Not only had family
members, friends, and society given up on them, but they had given up on
themselves. If you were to bet, there would be NO WAY you would bet that
they would be a success. NO way.
One particular person, Jay, had a doctor who told him, point blank,
“You’ll NEVER get better and you’ll be a ward of the state.” Even though
most people might have believed the doctor, gone in a corner, and slowly
waited to let nature run its course, Jay instead learned everything he
could and tried several different things to help himself, until … after a
decade, he became stable and started achieving great things. And Jay is
only one example of the case studies presented in
The Bipolar Mastery
System.
The people in the case studies and audio modules of
The Bipolar Mastery
System will give you something that no doctor can prescribe for you —
HOPE
that your loved one with Bipolar Disorder can get better and achieve a normal(“exceptional”)life.
They will give you something that no therapist can offer you and your
loved one — ENCOURAGEMENT from someone who has been right where your loved
one with Bipolar Disorder is now.
They will give you something that no book has taught you so
far—ORIGINAL TECHNIQUES THAT WORK!
Right now, let me go one-by-one through all the parts of this course so
you can see what you’ll learn to help support your loved one.
What This One-of-a-Kind Resource Contains
With The Bipolar Mastery System, you’ll get:
- Almost 20 hours of interviews. Most of the interviews – 13 in all –
are with people who are high-functioning despite having Bipolar Disorder.
The rest are with professionals who work closely to help people with
Bipolar Disorder take care of themselves medically and legally.
- Professional transcripts of every interview – 527 pages total. The
transcripts are great if you’d rather read than listen to audio
recordings. They’re also a fantastic resource if you want to go back and
review information without listening to the entire interview again.
- High-functioning Worksheets
When you’re supporting someone with Bipolar Disorder, there is a ton of
information you need to keep track of. To make it easier to stay on track
and remain stable, I’ve created 12 detailed worksheets to help you gather
and organize your thoughts, plans, and information. These are the same
worksheets I used and gave to my mom to help in her recovery. They worked
for her and now they’ll work for you!
- High-functioning Checklists
I'm a huge believer in
checklists, so you are going to get a sample of them. Like the
worksheets, these are great tools that will help you stay on track with
what you have to do to help maintain stability.
This course is packed with a ton of information you can start using
right away. Take a look for yourself …

Meet Your Bipolar Disorder Mentors
Now let me introduce you to the 13 Bipolar Disorder mentors you gain
when you invest in The Bipolar Mastery System. (Please note that I’ve
omitted most of the last names to protect the individuals’ privacy).
Success Story #1 – My Mom
After a lifelong struggle with Bipolar Disorder – an illness that was
never openly discussed with her parents or her own family – she finally
hit rock bottom after going off her medication. I stepped in to help her
properly manage her disorder. Here, my mom reveals some of the hard-won
lessons she’s learned on her journey to stability, independence and a
high-functioning, normal life, such as:
- How the type of job your loved one holds affects their ability to
function with Bipolar Disorder (page 29)
- How setting goals can help your loved one function at a higher level
with Bipolar Disorder (page 33)
- Why it makes sense to second-guess and challenge health care
practitioners in some situations (page 33)
Success Story #2 – Dimitri
The 65-year-old child of Greek immigrants, Dimitri is able to trace his
fight with Bipolar Disorder back to his teenage years … and tells how he
conquered the disorder largely through the force of his willpower. In an
era where medications to treat Bipolar Disorder were nonexistent, Dimitri
learned how to use his episodes to his benefit, earning three straight-A
degrees in 4 years (in math, physics, and astronomy), finishing second in
his class of 2,000 students, and earning a PhD by the early age of 24.
Some of the lessons you’ll discover during this lively interview
include:
- A technique that gives you an objective picture of what is going on in
your loved one’s life and how well they’re really doing at coping with
Bipolar Disorder (page 43)
- The two-part process of healing that your loved one must go through to
fully recover from a bipolar episode (page 47)
- The fastest way people with Bipolar Disorder get themselves into trouble
– be careful your loved one doesn’t make the same mistake or they’ll
probably end up hospitalized (page 47)
- The truth about how effective herbs are in treating Bipolar Disorder
(page 49)
- The daily process you can use to ensure that your loved one has the best
day possible – even if the day before was downright rotten (page 49)
- Does mental illness enhance your loved one’s creativity? You may be
surprised to find out (page 52)
Success Story #3 – Preston
Preston was misdiagnosed for years, partly because of another disorder
that masks symptoms of Bipolar Disorder. He has been to 8 specialists and
tried 40 different medications during his struggle to manage his Bipolar
Disorder. During his last psychiatric visit, he learned how to make
jewelry … became a jewelry designer … and today is the owner of 5
companies that combined do $2.5 million in business a year (and are
growing) and employ 19 people.
During this interview, you’ll discover:
- The hands-down most critical thing you should do to help your loved one
recover from a bipolar episode and maintain good mental health (page 66)
- The worst type of assistance a person with Bipolar Disorder can receive
… and why you should avoid it at all costs (page 67)
- The two activities you want to ensure your loved one avoids if they are
to cope – and survive – with Bipolar Disorder (engage in either activity …
and there’s a good chance they’ll die as a result) (page 67)
- Pointers for helping your loved one organize daily activities … and how
well-planned the day needs to be (page 70)
- One of the worst – and most stressful – jobs a person with Bipolar
Disorder can have (and if your loved one holds this position, think
seriously about encouraging them to find a new job) (page 61)
- Pointers for reducing the stress that comes with running your own
business (page 82)
- Why work-life balance is critical to your loved one’s ability to
effectively cope with Bipolar Disorder (page 83)

bottom line (even your accountant would agree!) (page 83)
- How where you live can affect your loved one’s ability to manage their
Bipolar Disorder (page 85)
- The most important thing you need to consider before your loved one
starts a business (page 86)

FREE Gift #9 – (LIMITED TO THE FIRST 17 PEOPLE WHO REGISTER
TODAY) Certificate
for a FREE Vacation (A $350.00 Value)
Supporting a loved one with Bipolar Disorder is incredibly draining. I
know that by the time my mom became stable, I was wiped out – so
bone-tired and physically and mentally exhausted that I was like a zombie.
A vacation is what you need -- and I want to help make it happen.
As you probably know by now, I do incredible amounts of research when
I’m creating products and resources for my customers. What you might not
know is that I run two other businesses (actually, they pretty much run
themselves, which is why I can devote so much time to helping you).
Anyway ... while doing research for another product, I found a travel
company that serves large corporations. And I was able to persuade them to
give me access to some of the same travel deals that they give to their
“fat-cat” clients.
One of the things I can purchase through them are vacation certificates
– and no, these aren’t those stupid “come and spend the weekend with us,
but by the way, you have to listen to a 4-hour timeshare presentation and
deal with our pushy salespeople.” There is no funny stuff or strings
attached – you just get to spend 3 days and 2 nights in one of 26 resort
destinations, like Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, Cancun, Hawaii, and Orlando --
just to name a few.
You can visit Orlando, Daytona Beach, or Ft. Lauderdale, FL; Las Vegas;
Branson, MO; Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, TN; Atlantic City; Lake Tahoe; Maine
Coast; Myrtle Beach, SC; Nashville, TN; Pagosa Springs, CO; Pocono
Mountains, PA; Reno, NV; Sedona or Scottsdale, AZ; Williamsburg, VA. Or
choose a more exotic destination like Aruba; Cabo San Lucas, Puerto
Vallarta or Cozumel, Mexico; Dominican Republic; Hawaii; St. Thomas.
This FREE vacation certificate, which I am paying for out of my
own pocket as a sincere thank-you for being one of the first 17 people
to register today for The Bipolar Mastery System, entitles you to a FREE 3-day/2-night
stay at a resort location. Bring your loved one with Bipolar Disorder as a
celebration of their recovery. Or take off on your own for a few days of
much-needed R&R.
FREE Gift #10 – (LIMITED TO THE FIRST 17 PEOPLE WHO REGISTER
TODAY) “How to
Successfully Manage Your Bipolar Disorder When You’re Traveling” Report (A
$75.00 Value)
One of the key strategies for effectively managing Bipolar Disorder is
to avoid high-stress situations. But what’s more stressful than traveling?
Not only is there tons of stress involved in the process of traveling --
and if you’ve stood in a security line at an airport recently, you know
exactly what I mean -- but traveling also throws off your routine and puts
you in unfamiliar situations. Throw in a visit to your relatives and
disaster can strike!
Traveling used to be one of my mom’s key stressors. Every time she
returned from a trip to Texas to visit her family, we were pretty much
guaranteed that she’d have an episode. In fact, for months after her major
episode (the one where I took over as her primary supporter), she didn’t
travel at all because her mental health was so fragile.
Now that she’s achieved stability and become high-functioning, though,
she’s started traveling again. And using the strategies in this report,
traveling has virtually no effect on my mom’s mental health.
If you want to regain your freedom so you can explore the world, this
report has dozens of powerful tips that will help!
FREE Gift #11 – (LIMITED TO THE FIRST 17 PEOPLE WHO REGISTER
TODAY) “How to
Travel Like a Celebrity Without Paying Celebrity Prices” Report (A $75.00
Value)
It takes a lot of time and money to support someone who has Bipolar
Disorder. And many times, you probably had to give up things like
traveling or having fun… either because you don't have the money OR you
don't feel like you can let your loved one out of your sight.
Once your loved one is high-functioning again, it’ll be time to have
some fun. And this report will show you how to have a blast even if you’re
working with a limited budget.
You’ll discover:
- How to get instant hotel discounts of 50%
- How to travel for free
- Ways to save up to 50% on plane tickets

- And much more.

That’s right. You get more than $5,580 worth of proven resources that
are not available anywhere else in the world.
The question now is ... what is it worth to you to get access to this
exclusive information?
A Roadmap for Success … For Less Than What
You’ll Spend on a Gallon of Gas
I had to put a lot of time into thinking about how I was going to price
The Bipolar Mastery System.
On one hand, the material needs to be out there and available to
everyone with Bipolar Disorder. I thought briefly about giving it away for
free, but I decided against it for two reasons.
- C’mon, let’s face it. When someone gives you something for free, you
really don’t value it as much as something you pay for – no matter how
cool or helpful the thing is. Studies have proven that we value things
more when we have to invest something to get it.
- I invested several thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of my
time hunting down high-functioning people with Bipolar Disorder…
persuading them to let me conduct and record an interview … conducting the
interview … getting transcripts made … finding someone to duplicate the
recordings … and so on. Now, don’t get me wrong. It makes me feel really
good to be able to get this information to you. The only problem is … I
can’t pay my mortgage with good feelings. I’m sure you can understand that
there is a very practical need to have you purchase this course, right?
But at the same time, I didn’t want to make this course so expensive
that you couldn’t afford it. Yes, I invested well over $15,000 (and that’s
not counting the value of my time) in developing
The Bipolar Mastery
System.
Like I said before, I spent a little more than $100,000 in advertising
costs just trying to find people who could be considered
“high-functioning.” I am dead serious, and have all the bills and invoices
to prove it.
Then I spent $3,000 going through applications and picking out the
handful of people who were qualified to teach us their techniques for
achieving a high-functioning status. I also spent $135 developing unique
interview questions for each guest… $1,800 on professional transcripts…
$1,200 to polish the interviews and incorporate breaks (that way, you
don’t have to start over from the beginning if you stop listening to an
interview half-way through a CD – you can jump ahead to the section you
were listening to)… $493 getting the material to fit nicely onto 20 CDs.
Of course, I know it would NOT be fair to charge you
$125,000. Or
$50,000. Or even $5,000.
Here’s Another Way to Determine the Value of
The Bipolar Mastery System
Like I've said, there's no other system or course to teach your loved
one how to become high-functioning.
Since there are over 20 hours of audio, let’s calculate how much it
would take to get 20 hours of assistance from other highly qualified
people who are dedicated to helping you improve your loved one’s life.

BUT, with all of these individuals, you get absolutely nothing written,
nothing to listen to again and nothing you can review in the future.
There’s really no doubt about it – The
Bipolar Mastery System is an incredible one of the kind
system to help you or your loved one with bipolar disorder become high
functioning. With The Bipolar Mastery System,
the decades of hard work have been done – the success stories just tell
you about what works.)
Don’t Decide Now...
Try My Bipolar Mastery System--
FREE For 30 Days
I'm so sure that you’ll absolutely, positively love this program and
get a ton out of it, I'm willing to do something that might seem a
little bit like I am out of my mind...
I'd like to send you a copy of this system to
try for FREE. That's
right, FREE.
Here's how it works:
I'd like to send you a copy of my Bipolar Mastery System 100% at
MY RISK.
If you like it, keep it. You'll be billed automatically. If you don't
like it, just send it back within 30 days, and you won't be charged
(Don't worry, if the mail takes too long, and I get it back 31 days
later and you've been charged, I'll give you a full no-questions and
no-hassles refund).
Can it get any better?
Of course it can...
I will even pay the shipping so there is NO CHARGE at all for the
first 30 days after you get this program.
And it even gets better…
I also realize that having to come up with the money for this system
right now might stretch your budget right now.
So I have an idea. I am going to make this a TOTALLY IRRESISTIBLE
OFFER that you can’t refuse.
If you order BEFORE THE
DEADLINE, as I mentioned above, I'll spread your payments out
over FOUR MONTHS. You won't make your first payment until 30 days after
you order, and you'll be automatically charged in four equal monthly
installments (shipping and handling added the first month).
There is no way I could make this any easier for you.

Who Is Really In Control Of YOUR Life?
It’s time to take a good hard look at yourself ... at the life you
really want ... and what you really want your loved one to achieve.
Do you want to continue waking up each day wondering when your loved
one’s next bipolar episode will start … or are you ready to live life
confidently knowing that your loved one will be able to manage his/her
triggers enough to achieve months, even years, of stability?
Do you want to continue limiting your activities for fear of what will
happen when your loved one’s next bipolar episode strikes … or do you want
your loved one able to tackle anything that strikes your fancy?
Do you want your loved one to continue alienating people during
episodes and being afraid of making new friends … or do you want them to
rebuild damaged relationships and find dozens of new friends who accept
their Bipolar Disorder as a natural part of who they are?
It’s virtually impossible to get people to
treat someone with Bipolar Disorder as normal
if they are not high-functioning. They will be
treated as “special” but never like everyone else.
Do you want your loved one’s behavior to scream that they have Bipolar
Disorder … or do you want them to manage their Bipolar Disorder so well
that no one will be able to tell they even have the disease unless they
spill the beans?
Do you want your loved one to scrape by on government assistance and
the charity of others … or do you want them to earn their own keep – and
maybe even start their own profitable business?
The bottom line is … your loved one CAN live a “normal” (even
“exceptional”) life. The 13 high-functioning people profiled in
The
Bipolar Mastery System have done the hard work in figuring out how to
achieve a normal/exceptional life despite having Bipolar Disorder.
Before now, there was no single source that your loved one could model.
Now there is.
With The Bipolar Mastery System, you’ll be able to discover their
blueprint for living successfully with Bipolar Disorder.
The blueprint is ready and waiting. All you have to do is decide
whether you really want to help your loved one achieve a normal
(exceptional), stable, happy, healthy, productive life.
If your choice is “YES!” …
