The Gifted Adult: A Revolutionary Guide for Liberating Everyday Genius (1999)
by Mary-Elaine Jacobsen
399 pages - Ballantine
Firstly, I haven't been really reading a lot of books front-to-back lately, mainly either just reading parts or abandoning them. I'm not too worried, I figure if I really enjoy reading it'll come back after a break.
Anyhow, I'm re-reading this, but I read it before under it's previous title Liberating Everyday Genius. Both titles are kinda sketchy, though I guess this one is a bit better. The author's choice to use her own capitalized terms like 'Everyday Genius' and 'Evolutionary Intelligence' sometimes sounds a bit too new-agey.
But, it's interesting how much more you pick up on a second reading. And how many different things. I suppose it's a product of both reading the material a second time, and being at a different place in your life. I realized that because I'm so adaptable, for various reasons I've been mostly simulating the self I present to the world. And it's very tiring and not very satisfying.
