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

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.
