1. The Hypomanic Edge
Argues that a disproportionate number of American entrepreneurs, financiers and political leaders share a hypomanic temperament—marked by high energy, relentless optimism, impulsiveness and grand visions—which has driven innovation, risk-taking and rapid economic expansion in the United States while also producing speculative manias, personal instability and boom-and-bust cycles; combines clinical observations with historical case studies to show how this trait has shaped national institutions, markets and cultural attitudes.
