The Insanity Hoax: Exposing the myth of the mad genius, by our senior reviewer and columnist Dr. Judith Schlesinger, has just been chosen as a “new and “notable book" by the prestigious and long-running Skeptical Inquirer, “the magazine for science and reason."
The book was chosen because it effectively challenges one of society's most unreasonable and unscientific notions: that creativity and mental disorder are always bundled together. The Insanity Hoax is the first book to comprehensively demonstrate that great talent does not require great suffering.
