À propos de cet audio

Hypomania, a genetically based mild form of mania, endows many of us with unusual energy, creativity, enthusiasm, and a propensity for taking risks. America has an extraordinarily high number of hypomanics - grandiose types who leap on every wacky idea that occurs to them, utterly convinced it will change the world. Market bubbles and ill-considered messianic crusades can be the downside. But there is an enormous upside in terms of spectacular entrepreneurial zeal, drive for innovation, and material success. Americans may have a lot of crazy ideas, but some of them lead to brilliant inventions.

Bringing his audacious and persuasive thesis to life, Gartner offers case histories of some famous Americans who represent this phenomenon of hypomania. These are the real stories you never learned in school about some of those men who made America: Columbus, who discovered the continent, thought he was the messiah. John Winthrop, who settled and defined it, believed Americans were God's new chosen people. Alexander Hamilton, the indispensable founder who envisioned America's economic future, self-destructed because of pride and impulsive behavior.

While these men are extraordinary examples, Gartner argues that many Americans have inherited the genes that have made them the most successful citizens in the world.

Fascinating Book

Amazing book. Fantastic lessons and stories. This book made me understand myself much better. I feel like I have a lot of the traits of the people mentioned in this book, and now realize why I am the way I am and how to use it to my advantage. I am glad I took Patrick Bet David’s suggestion (from his top 100 list) to read this book. It’s very interesting to me that he’s read 1000s of books and he puts this as his #2 book of all time. That alone says something about this book. I think a lot of hyper driven people will relate to the historical characters in this book and hopefully it inspires them to achieve great things like the characters did, and also teaches them to stay away from the pitfalls that us with this personality type/disorder (if you can really call it that) can go down as it seems like we can hyper achieve but we also have the capability to destroy ourselves and those around us too if we do not channel our hypomania towards the right tasks or take it too far.

Interesting

The concept is clear and well written. Maybe Hypomanic are wired to do what they are doing. A must read for Entrepreneurs.
