Hipomaníacos (locos sueltos) al rescate!

crazy-man.jpgEste es un artículo del blog de mi socio Fabrice Grinda. Fabrice es un entrepreneur serial ultra-exitoso. El artículo trata de las características de locura que habitualmente acompañan al entrepreneur. Claramente Fabrice y yo encajamos como “locos” dentro del estereotipo del artículo. El artículo relaciona el éxito de Estados Unidos con la hipomanía de sus emprendedores. El artículo es MUY divertido. Acá va…
En su libro reciente y muy interesante cuyo título original en inglés es “The Hypomanic Edge: The Link Between (A Little) Craziness and (a Lot of) Success in America” (“El extremo hipomaniaco: el vínculo entre (un poco) de locura y (mucho de) éxito en Estados Unidos”), John D. Gartner, profesor adjunto de psiquiatría en John Hopkins, dice que el éxito de los Estados Unidos es consecuencia de que los emprendedores en este país son muy hipomaníacos.

“La hipomanía es una forma moderada de manía que por lo general sufren los parientes de los maníacos depresivos. Los hipomaníacos desbordan de una energía infecciosa, de una confianza fuera de lo racional y de ideas realmente grandes. Piensan, hablan y toman decisiones con rapidez. Todo el que lo detiene con preguntas “simplemente no entiende”. Los hipomaníacos no están locos, pero “normal” no es la primera palabra que se nos viene a la mente al describirlos. Los hipomaníacos viven en los extremos, entre lo normal y lo anormal.”

Entonces, los estadounidenses ¿por qué son hipomaníacos? “Energía, dinamismo, un optimismo absurdo, entusiasmo emprendedor y religioso, el ingenio Yankee, mesianismo y arrogancia – los rasgos siempre atribuidos al “carácter estadounidense.” Si un científico quisiera diseñar una gran placa de Petri con todos los nutrientes adecuados para el surgimiento de genios hipomaníacos, le sería muy difícil imaginar un experimento natural mejor que los Estados Unidos. Una “nación de inmigrantes” representa a una población muy variada e inusualmente “auto-seleccionada”. Las personas que arriesgan todo lo que tienen para lanzarse a un mundo nuevo y aquellas que se quedan en casa ¿no tienen temperamentos diferentes? Si no fuera así, sería algo sorprendente.”

¿Cómo se identifica a un hipomaniaco? Garner hace la siguiente lista de rasgos: “Está lleno de energía; invadido de ideas; es enérgico, incansable e incapaz de quedarse quieto; canaliza su energía para el logro de ambiciones completamente grandiosas; generalmente trabaja habiendo dormido poco; se siente brillante, especial, elegido, hasta quizá destinado a cambiar al mundo; puede ser eufórico; se enoja fácilmente ante obstáculos pequeños; asume riesgos; en sus negocios y en su vida personal se compromete más de la cuenta; expresa sus afectos; a veces actúa por impulso, sin pensar lo suficiente, quizá en formas que traen aparejadas consecuencias dolorosas; es rápido; ingenioso y sociable; carismático y persuasivo; propenso a hacer enemigos y se siente perseguido por aquellos que no aceptan su visión ni su misión.” Suena a emprendedor :)

    Excelente nota !!

    En los momentos de energia que desborda es cuando la llave de nuestra maquinaria cerebral enciende el motor y comienza a escupir ideas. Algunas provechosas, otras simplemente quedan en el olvido. Sin embargo ese es el juego de emprender. Pensar y actuar. Pensar y actuar. A prueba y error.

    “El que no posee el don de maravillarse ni de entusiasmarse más le valdría estar muerto, porque sus ojos están cerrados.” Albert Einstein.

  2. Muy buena nota, creo que más allá de esta obsesión de los psiquiatras a poner nombre y categorizar las multiformes características humanas la investigación nos muestra que la locura es parte de la vida misma y que en realidad se trata de pensarce y lograr aprovechar nuestra naturaleza para llevar adelante los proyectos-deseos trabajados-de la vida.
