“Of course you’re different. You’re intense, complex, and driven because you’re gifted.”
~ Mary-Elaine Jacobsen, Psy.D. from The Gifted Adult
This may be a book that you missed despite the fact that it is read by many people all over the world. I still can’t remember how I discovered it but I’m thrilled I did. And, I think you’re going to love it.
If you dig these PhilosophersNotes you’re almost definitely one of the millions of “Everyday Geniuses®” out there (Jacobsen counts 20 million in the US alone) looking to most fully and authentically give their gifts to the world… but, unfortunately, too often feeling a sense of purpose that is not quite being fulfilled.
That sound vaguely familiar?
If so, I HIGHLY recommend the book. It was a life changer when I first read it several years ago and it’s been refreshing to re-read it after quite a bit of growth—reflecting on the seeds planted by the book that have now taken firm root in my life.
You’re busy. I’m busy.
So, let’s jump right in, shall we?!? :)
My gut is that if we’re going to learn some Big Ideas about how we can unleash our Everyday Genius®, might as well start by understanding where the word genius came from in the first place, eh?!?
