Two weeks ago I finished "A First-Rate Madness: Uncovering the Links Between Leadership and Mental Illness" by Nassir Ghaemi. I found this to be a very good read that profiles eight great leaders from history (albeit a little repetitive at times), and goes beyond the correlation of genius to madness. I would also recommend this as a good summer read (or listen if that's your thing).
Just yesterday I started "The Abolition of Man" by C.S. Lewis-- will likely finish it this afternoon.
