The Hypomanic Edge
The Link Between (a Little) Craziness and (a Lot) of Success in America
Book • 2011
In this book, Gartner argues that hypomania, characterized by heightened energy, creativity, and ambition, has been a driving force behind many of America's most innovative and successful individuals.
He examines historical figures such as Christopher Columbus, Alexander Hamilton, and modern-day entrepreneurs like Ted Turner, suggesting that their hypomanic tendencies contributed to their remarkable achievements.
Gartner also emphasizes the importance of managing hypomania to prevent it from escalating into full-blown mania, and advocates for recognizing and nurturing the positive aspects of this condition rather than stigmatizing it.
