Description
Extreme intelligence is often associated with exceptional human achievement, but paradoxically also with increased relationship conflict, career difficulties, and mental health issues. This book explores the social development and challenges faced by individuals with extreme intelligence, and the personal and professional implications for them.
The author draws on research from fields of intelligence, giftedness, genius, and expertise, as well as depth psychology, to provide insights into how to effectively support and nurture individuals with extreme intelligence. By reviewing academic literature and consulting with high-IQ adults, Sonja Falck sheds light on the importance of open communication and tailored approaches.
This book is a valuable resource for anyone working or supporting highly gifted individuals, as well as those researching the field of intelligence. It offers a unique perspective on the complexities of extreme intelligence and its impact on personal and professional life.
