Mark Twain

Bipolar disorder has affected many well-known writers, including Mark Twain, Leo Tolstoy, Earnest Hemingway, Edgar Allen Poe, and Virginia Woolf. But recently, it is earning the sobriquet, “CEO’s disease”, as an increasing number of executives are admitting to the condition. Among them are Ted Turner, ABC-TV producer Bill Liechtenstein, Steve Jobs, and all three founders of Netscape.

Sobriquet (pronounced “SO-brih-kay”)
