Reviews
"PROVOCATIVE . . . UNLOCKS THE KIND OF PASSION THAT GREAT INVENTIONS ARE MADE OF." --New York Daily News "Takes readers beyond the myths and stereotypes about talent and genius . . . Everyone interested in maximizing intelligence, creativity, or productivity will want to read this book." --MAUREEN NEIHART, PSY.D. Contributing editor, Gifted Child Quarterly, "Provocative . . . unlocks the kind of passion that great inventions are made of." -- New York Daily News " The Gifted Adult takes readers beyond the myths and stereotypes about talent and genius. . . . Everyone interested in maximizing intelligence, creativity, or productivity will want to read this book." --Maureen Neihard, Psy.D., contributing editor, Gifted Child Quarterly "Using scientific research, together with case studies as examples, Jacobsen creates a mental geography for Everyday Genius that is accessible to millions of adults for personal validation." --Ruthan Brodsky, editor of the Roeper Review, A Journal on Gifted Education "Sure to attract attention . . . Statistically, many gifted adults are baby boomers. . . . Jacobsen's goal is to help the gifted hone their abilities and cope with the 'truths' of being gifted. . . . She provides useful advice about framing responses to common criticism . . . overcoming blocks to development . . . and achieving balance."-- Publishers Weekly " The Gifted Adult offers new insight about the psychological makeup and development of gifted individuals. Jacobsen challenges current definitions of giftedness and offers one that places psychological rather than cognitive characteristics at the very core, providing more detailed explanations of achievement and underachievement among gifted adults than ever before." --Paula Oszewski-Kubilius, Ph.D., director of the Center for Talent Development, Northwestern University
Synopsis
Are you relentlessly curious and creative, always willing to rock the boat in order to get things done . . . extremely energetic and focused, yet constantly switching gears . . . intensely sensitive, able to intuit subtly charged situations and decipher others' feeling? If these traits sound familiar, then you may be an Everyday Genius--an ordinary person of unusual vision who breaks the mold and isn't afraid to push progress forward. . . . As thought-provoking as Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence, psychologist Mary-Elaine Jacobsen's Gifted Adults draws on a wide range of groundbreaking research and her own clinical experience to show America's twenty million gifted adults how to identify and free their extraordinary potential. Gifted Adults presents the first practical tool for rating your Evolutionary Intelligence Quotient through an in-depth personality-type profile. Demystifying what it means to be a gifted adult, this book offers practical guidance for eliminating self-sabotage and underachievement, helping Everyday Geniuses and those who know, love, and work with them to understand and support the exceptional gifts inherent in these unique personality traits.
