"Beyond Reason" is the true story of the author Bryan Dressler's battle with bipolar disorder. During his second major episode he commits a catastrophic suicide with a large dagger inflicting several fatal wounds. Left for dead in a wooded area of Washington, he is summoned by a body-less voice to save himself. Nearly bled out, he walks 50 yards to the road and flags a passing motorist. Airlifted by helicopter to a Seattle trauma center, he lapses into a Near Death Experience, (NDE). This intimate portrayal of an ideal early life, the challenges of a creative mind, and the strength of faith, love and courage shine a ray of hope for family, friends and individuals living with brain issues. This revealing and affirming journey is a "Must Read" for anyone drawn to the complexities of of the mind, the will of our bodies, and the power of our spirit.
