Priscilla Benbrook’s Reviews > Lincoln's Melancholy: How Depression Challenged a President and Fueled His Greatness – The Inner Life and Leadership of Abraham Lincoln > Status Update

Like many Americans, I revere Lincoln. However, this book is not only a great read for history buffs, but would probably be of interest to many who might suffer from mood disorders.

Incredible leadership skills & drive aside (!), I felt a true kinship w/ Lincoln in terms of his moods, hypersensitivity (esp. toward other creatures), & just thinking incessantly. Made me proud to be, well, me.

Like many Americans, always liked Lincoln. However, extraordinary leadership/political skills aside, I'm finding that I can truly relate to him as a human being.

I can really relate to this man.
