A free public talk on mental illnesses

Dear everyone:

For this Awakening Minds update, I would like to highlight the following event.

1. May 29, 2010: "A Journey With..." (organised by the Silver Ribbon Singapore): This is a free talk by four authors who have written books on their experiences with mental illnesses (including myself on manic depression). This event is open to members of the public. You will have the opportunity to purchase an autographed copy of my book, Five Little White Pills... And Then There Were None: A Journey from Manic Depression to Recovery ($16.00, G.S.T. waived). To make my life easier, you can also pre-order your copies so that I would know how many to bring to this event.

The details are as follows:
