What if the defining characteristic of American success isn't democracy, capitalism, or natural resources, but a specific personality trait? Clinical psychologist John D. Gartner discovered something remarkable when interviewing Silicon Valley CEOs during the 1990s tech boom. Every single one recognized themselves in his list of hypomanic traits: boundless energy, racing thoughts, grand ambitions, minimal sleep needs, and feelings of special destiny. Hypomania-a mild form of mania that doesn't require hospitalization-might be America's hidden superpower, fueling everything from the nation's founding to today's tech giants. While full-blown mania is debilitating, hypomania exists in that sweet spot between normal and abnormal-just energized enough to drive extraordinary achievement without complete derailment.
