A brief summary of A First-Rate Madness: Uncovering the Links Between Leadership and Mental Illness by S. Nassir Ghaemi
In A First-Rate Madness, Nassir Ghaemi, who directs the Mood Disorders Program at Tufts University Medical Center, draws inspiration from the careers and personal struggles of such notable leaders as Lincoln, Churchill, Gandhi, Martin Luther King , Jr., JFK, and others over the past two centuries to argue that the very qualities that characterize people with mood disorders—realism, empathy, resilience, and creativity—also make the best leaders in times of crisis. Combining analysis of historical evidence with the latest psychiatric research, Ghaemi demonstrates how he believes these qualities have produced brilliant leadership in the most difficult circumstances, of individuals and society as a whole, regardless of the high cost for those who endure these illnesses.
