Review: Eye-opening book for anyone who’ knows life should be pretty good but find something’s askew despite being smart, capable, and maybe even “Gifted”. Often, key personality traits (intensity, complexity and drive) are misunderstood or ignored. Understanding these can mean living up to your potential instead of driving yourself crazy. If you’re ignoring these, you’re probably wanting to know: “If I’m smart, why is this not working?” I loved this book because it normalized the parts of me I’ve apologized for (and secretly made me wonder if I’m “crazy”)including the 101 ever changing new interests (I’m actually not flighty and scattered!). Gifted is more than just “smartness” it’s a fundamentally different biological wiring with it’s own benefits and challenges.
