How to Travel Light: My Memories of Madness and Melancholia

Diagnosed as bipolar at twenty-three a young journalist struggles for a decade fighting a cycle of depression and euphoria. In this candid stylish journey we visit diverse former loves and eccentric fellow sufferers; mental health institutions and Benares; his moments with Diana Eck and Deepika Padukone-and reckonings with past wounds. Part confession part joy-ride and wholly enjoyable this compelling debut announces a formidable new talent.
