Michael Syndrome

One of the few syndromes whose symptoms yield a net benefit in one's life. (i.e., this is a syndrome you actually want to have.) Typically, Michael Syndrome is characterized by a dramatic increase in so-called 'eureka moments', of which many are incredibly useful ideas and contributions.

In other words, Michael Syndrome can be thought of as a temporary form of Savant Syndrome, but it is much more direct in application and does not contain any negative side effects.
My God, he just received his third Nobel Prize, fourth Turing award, fifth best-selling book, and is making a killing on his newest stock trading strategy... The only explanation: He has a case of Michael Syndrome.
