The enigmatic Nikola Tesla--stalked by his ever-present inner
demons--invents the modern world. His astonishing story is that of
a new-age god, a genius, a Zeus, a wonderful Wizard, yet a deeply
troubled one. He tames the mysterious force called "electricity;"
he dazzles the world with his endless inventions and discoveries;
he blazes new paths in science that profoundly impact our daily
lives; he turns fantasies into realities; his thought experiments
disrupt scientific norms; he gives us many of the indispensable
tools we use today; and famous actresses and chanteuses clamor for
his attention as powerful men desire to be his friend . . . all
before an astonished world. Yet all the while he keeps his own
counsel, as he simultaneously struggles with the challenging
consequences of bipolar disorder: flights of manic energy
alternating with depressive depths of great despair. He shuns the
cliches of a quotidian life, while forever seeking to "lift the
burdens from the shoulders of mankind." It would become his
lifelong leitmotif, but at what cost to him? The authors Marko
Perko and Stephen M. Stahl, M.D., Ph.D., D.Sc., propose a "new-
style biography" entitled T E S L A: His Tremendous and Troubled
Life. They will examine Nikola Tesla in a manner that has yet to be
accomplished in publishing history asking and answering the seminal
question: Who was the real man with an extremely complex
psyche/personality, who lived with obsessive compulsive disorder
(OCD) and a hyperthymic temperament spilling over at times into
high flying bipolar mania and then crashing into devastating
depression--and not simply the iconoclastic scientist who invented
the modern world?
