• Explains how many of those diagnosed as schizophrenic, bipolar and other forms of 'madness' are not ill but experiencing a spiritual awakening • Explores the rise of Mad Pride and the mental patients' liberation movement • Reveals how those seen as 'mad' must embrace their spiritual gifts to help the coming global spiritual transition

Many of the great prophets of the past experienced madness - a breakdown followed by a breakthrough, spiritual death followed by rebirth. With the advent of modern psychiatry, the budding prophets of today are captured and transformed into chronic mental patients before they can flower into the visionaries and mystics they were intended to become. As we approach the tipping point between extinction and global spiritual awakening, there is a deep need for these prophets to embrace their spiritual gifts. To make this happen, we must learn to respect the sanctity of madness. We need to cultivate Mad Pride. Exploring the rise of Mad Pride and the mental patients' liberation movement as well as building upon psychiatrist R. D. Laing's revolutionary theories, Seth Farber explains that diagnosing people as mad has more to do with social control than therapy. Many of those labeled as schizophrenic, bipolar and other kinds of 'mad' are not ill, but simply experiencing different forms of spiritual awakening: they are seeing and feeling what is wrong with society and what needs to be done to change it. He shows that it is impossible for society to change as long as the mad are suppressed because they are our catalysts of social change.

By reclaiming their rightful role as prophets of spiritual and cultural revitalisation, the mad - by seeding new visions for our future - can help humanity overcome the spiritual crisis that endangers our survival and lead us to a higher and long-awaited stage of spiritual development.
