He was building a new kind of startupP#8212;a digitally native, direct-to-consumer brandP#8212;out of his Manhattan apartment. Bonobos was a new-school approach to selling an old-school product: menP#8217;s pants.

As he struggled to keep the startup afloat, Dunn was haunted by a ghost: a diagnosis of bipolar disorder he received after a frightening manic episode in college, one that had punctured the idyllic veneer of his midwestern upbringing. He had understood his diagnosis as an unspeakable shame thatP#8212;according to the taciturn codes of his fraternity, the business world, and even his familyP#8212;should be locked away.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;As DunnP#8217;s business began to take off, however, some of the very traits that powered his success as a founderP#8212;relentless drive, confidence bordering on hubris, and ambition verging on delusionP#8212;were now threatening to undo him. A collision course was set in motion, and it would culminate in a night of mayhemP#8212;one poised to unravel all that he had built.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;iPgt;Burn RatePlt;/iPgt; is an unconventional entrepreneurial memoir, a parable for the twenty-first-century economy, and a revelatory look at the prevalence of mental illness in the startup community. With intimate prose, Andy Dunn fearlessly shines a light on the dark side of success and challenges us all to take part in the deepening conversation around creativity, performance, and disorder.
