Скачать или смотреть Nikola Tesla's Psychology: Maladaptive Daydreaming & Genius

Nikola Tesla died alone, obsessed with a pigeon. But what if his "eccentricity" was actually maladaptive daydreaming and OCD? This deep dive explores the psychology behind Tesla's genius and suffering.

Tesla didn't sketch his inventions—he built them entirely in his mind through immersive daydreams so vivid he couldn't distinguish them from reality. Modern psychology reveals this wasn't ordinary creativity but maladaptive daydreaming, a condition where fantasy becomes all-consuming. Combined with obsessive-compulsive behaviors (counting in threes, avoiding round objects), Tesla's psychological profile explains both his revolutionary innovations and tragic isolation.

What You'll Learn:
Tesla's bizarre final years: genius or madness?
Maladaptive daydreaming: the architecture of Tesla's mind
How childhood trauma shaped his mental imagery
OCD and anxiety-driven rituals behind the genius
The performance paradox: public persona vs private chaos
Why his conditions both enabled and destroyed him
Modern treatment: could we have saved Tesla?

This isn't just historical curiosity—it's about reframing how we understand creative genius, mental health, and the "tortured artist" myth. Tesla's life proves that brilliance survives with support, not suffering.
