Today I listenened to a fascinating interview on NPR by Bob Edwards with psychiatrist and author Nassir Ghaemi. The focus of the interview was on Ghaemi's book A First-Rate Madness: Uncovering the Links between Leadership and Mental Illness. According to his website, his book comprises "an investigation into the surprisingly deep correlation between mental illness and successful leadership, as seen through some of history’s greatest politicians, generals, and businesspeople.
A perfect book for my husband and me. He loves history and I love . . . mental illness? (hmmmm.... somehow that doesn't sound quite right.)
If you are interested in reading a review of the book, go to this site:
