Summary of Eric Maisel's Why Smart People Hurt
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The challenges that high-ability children face due to their native intelligence being disregarded or even held as a negative are huge. They are bound to grow sad, act out, or sabotage themselves, and they will most likely develop one mental disorder or another.
#2 The language of natural psychology can help us understand how our original personality, formed personality, and available personality are affected by our environment. It can help us think about what has transpired and what is now required of us if we are to reduce our distress.
#3 A child who grows up in an environment that disparages thinking will find himself in the jaws of his society's work machinery. He will be fit for one sort of job and not another, and he will be aimed into one social class and not another.
#4 The truth is that thinking is not allowed in most societies. It is seen as elitist and effete, and its progressive views are hated. Tyrants hate intellectuals, for intellectuals as a class see tyranny for what it is and can articulate what they see.
