""The Hypomanic Edge" reveals a secret history of America, the
hidden psychiatric underbelly of legendary successes and the cult
of celebrity. John Gartner tells the story with gripping detail and
a clinician's authority. After this book, you'll never read the
business pages in quite the same way." --Daniel Goleman, author of
"Emotional Intelligence"
"America is a land settled by adventurers and risk takers, and the
mania that made it great seems to be bred into its genes. In this
provocative and interesting book, John Gartner explores that theory
with vivid case studies and an expert's understanding of clinical
psychology." --Walter Isaacson, author of "Benjamin Franklin"
"Finally someone gets it. Through fabulous profiles of the likes of
Carnegie, Hamilton, the Selznicks and the Mayers -- my favorites --
John D. Gartner explains how brains hardwired for success,
otherwise known as hypomania, have contributed so much to the
richness of our great country. Three cheers for Gartner. He
recognizes that hypomania is integral to the success of those who
challenge every assumption on the way to creating fabulous wealth,
brilliant movies, and, yes, even a nation." -- James Cramer,
markets commentator for CNBC and thestreet.com and author of
"Confessions of a Street Addict"
