Reviews
"A glistening psychological history, faceted largely by the biographies of eight famous leaders . . . A First-Rate Madness is carefully plotted and sensibly argued." -- The Boston Globe "Ghaemi isn't the first to claim that madness is a close relative of genius, or even the first to extend the idea into politics. But he does go further than others . . . His explanations are elegant, too--intuitively accurate and banked off the latest psychiatric research." --Newsweek "A provocative thesis . . . Ghaemi's book deserves high marks for original thinking." --The Washington Post "Ghaemi is a remarkably disciplined writer, and he examines both psychiatry and history with impressive clarity and sensitivity. A First-Rate Madness will almost certainly be one of the most fascinating books of the year, not just because of the author's lucid prose and undeniable intelligence, but because of his provocative thesis: 'For abnormal challenges, abnormal leaders are needed.'" -- NPR.org "Provocative, fascinating." -- Salon.com, "A glistening psychological history, faceted largely by the biographies of eight famous leaders...

The New York Times bestseller "A glistening psychological history, faceted largely by the biographies of eight famous leaders . . ." -- The Boston Globe "A provocative thesis . . . Ghaemi's book deserves high marks for original thinking." --The Washington Post "Provocative, fascinating." --Salon.com Historians have long puzzled over the apparent mental instability of great and terrible leaders alike: Napoleon, Lincoln, Churchill, Hitler, and others. In A First-Rate Madness , Nassir Ghaemi, director of the Mood Disorders Program at Tufts Medical Center, offers a myth-shattering exploration of the powerful connections between mental illness and leadership and sets forth a controversial, compelling thesis: The very qualities that mark those with mood disorders also make for the best leaders in times of crisis. From the importance of Lincoln's "depressive realism" to the lackluster leadership of exceedingly sane men as Neville Chamberlain, A First-Rate Madness overturns many of our most cherished perceptions about greatness and the mind., The New York Times bestseller "A glistening psychological history, faceted largely by the biographies of eight famous leaders . . ." - The Boston Globe "A provocative thesis . . .

- d***o (15)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaThe item got lost in the mail, which was my fault, because I provided an old UPS store addy. The store informed me that they returned it, but the seller never got it. His communication on this manner, however, was excellent. Would definitely by from him again!
- a***_ (5)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Último añoCompra verificadaIt shipped very quicky after the purchase. The packaging for the plushes was nicely wrapped up and sealed with bags, gift paper, and lots of tape. It was as described but a lot small than I thought but it's still a good gift for any orioles fan. The value for receiving it and in good condition was worth the price, in my opinion.Rare Vintage Baltimore Orioles MLB Plush Penguins Stuffed Animals Steven Smith (#275164182546)
