Igor's Computer Blog

If you're interested in learning more about How Igor ticks,  Emotional Intelligence and Strategy, check out my alpha "blog" @ idvorkin.github.io It's currently very rough but has a few interesting properties: From a content perspective, it's focused on less technical topics - book reviews, strategy, emotional intelligence, and my own self discovery. From a technical perspective, it's a jekyll static  markdown blog, something I've always wanted to try because I can use powerful editing tools, keep the content under source control , and never need to worry about being at the mercy of my service provider.

I've had multiple people ask for my book recommendations on depression on bipolar disorder.  Here's my reading list: The Noonday Demon: An Atlas Of Depression An extremely well written book about depression. It helps a reader understand the experience of depression from a superb story teller. The author also has a gripping  TED talk . An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness A psychiatrist's story of bi-polar disorder, a very well written personal memoir.  It gives a good feeling of the highs of Mania as well as the lows of depression.  Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide, Second Edition An engineering manual for laymen on bi-polar disorder.  This is a great book if you'd like to understand the current medical knowledge around bi-polar disorder, as well as what you can do to for yourself and your loved ones.
