It's a lovely feeling to be a big fish in a small pond, but it's a slightly different experience being a shark in an inflatable wading pool.

Produktbeschreibung
It's a lovely feeling to be a big fish in a small pond, but it's a slightly different experience being a shark in an inflatable wading pool. (This book represents one profoundly gifted list of things he wished someone would have told him, and that he would like others to learn at a less costly price than he paid through experience.) If this book is successful, it will succeed as a good first word and not as any kind of last word: complete triumph would amount to, in letter and in spirit, being superseded by a "community wiki." The author is only too well aware that the collection is not in any way perfect. It is intended to stand in the tradition of wisdom literature-a tradition older than the Bible and newer than Seven Habits of Highly Effective People -and address the special needs within the profoundly gifted community. (Profound giftedness is often called "severe giftedness," especially within the community, because there's enough difference to serve up a nasty backswing.) In that sense, for lack of anything better, it is to the author's knowledge pioneering and intended to open a conversation that would continue in other wisdom literature intended for that special need. And hint at what wisdom literature might look like for addressing that need. The author prays all the best for you, and hopes to shine a little light, even if it is just a little bit of light he has to give. People interested in the profoundly gifted experience might also read C.J.S. Hayward, Orthodox Theology and Technology: A Profoundly Gifted Autobiography.
