"An ebullient examination of madness, mortality, suicide... Montero finds that deviance is often just a more truthful account of normal human behavior." Chris KrausA dazzling journey into the eccentric, troubled, and luminous minds that shaped literature.In this bold, personal, and deeply researched blend of memoir, essay, literary analysis, psychological reflection, and intellectual sleuth story, Montero draws on psychology, neuroscience, creative literature, and the testimonies and biographies of authors and artists to weave a fascinating narrative on the connection between creativity and mental instability.With intelligence, generosity, and narrative elan, Montero brings to life figures such as Franz Kafka, Virginia Woolf, Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, Marcel Proust, Joseph Conrad, and Doris Lessing, painting a fresco of the ways in which the brain works, its quirks and dark corners. She breaks down the forces that influence creativity and miraculously reassembles them before the readers eyes over three hundred gripping pages.Like a masterfully plotted detective story, each clue leads readers one step closer to new definitions of both the creative act and of what is and is not "normal." Blending intimate memoir with wide-ranging cultural history, The Danger to Be Sane is a moving and inspirational homage to minds and lives that are outside of the mean.Twas a Divine Insanity TheDangerto be Sane From Emily Dickinson, Poem 593

A gente tende a tomar atitudes precipitadas quando acha que comparar a nossa vida com a vida dos outros é mais importante do que seguir os próprios passos.Em seu livro de estreia, Luanda Vieira provoca reflexes sobre coragem, sucesso e felicidade. Partindo de experiencias pessoais, sua escrita lirica e evocativa mostra as batalhas intensas que enfrentou para conquistar os seus sonhos e a descoberta de que nenhum desejo vale o adoecimento; afinal, nada e definitivo.Com um relato poderoso e honesto sobre o poder e a coragem de mudar de rumo e recalcular a rota, a jornada de autodescoberta e empoderamento de Luanda serve tambem como aprendizado para todos aqueles que ja enfrentaram resistencias externas na busca de seus sonhos. A partir de suas palavras podemos aprender a ter novas conversas. Podemos entender que, em um mundo que no foi feito para o sucesso de todos, priorizar a saude e a autenticidade pode fazer mais sentido do que "chegar la" a qualquer custo.
