| Book Description | The challenges smart and creative people encounter--from scientific researchers, genius award winners, to bestselling novelists, Broadway actors, highpowered attorneys, and academics-- often include anxiety, overthinking, mania, sadness, and despair. Specifically, Dr. Maisel examines: - "racing brain syndrome" - living in an antiintellectual culture - finding ideas worth loving - dealing with boredom and hypersensitivity - finding meaning in their lives and their work - struggling to achieve success In Why Smart People Hurt, psychologist Dr. Eric Maisel draws on his many years of work with the best and the brightest to pinpoint these often devastating challenges and offer solutions based on the groundbreaking principles and practices of natural psychology. His thoughtful strategies include using logic and creativity to cope with the problems of having a brain that goes into overdrive at the drop of a hat. With a series of questions at the end of each chapter, he guides the reader to create his or her own roadmap to a calm and meaningful life. Why Smart People Hurt is a mustread for parents of gifted children as well as the millions of smart and creative people that are searching for a more meaningful life. |
| Editorial Review | Eric Maisel's Why Smart People Hurt is original, provocative and also reassuring. His conceptualization of mania as a thinking disorder and his treatment for this are original ideas that to my knowledge have never before been expressed. I have taken several courses from Eric and I know personally how powerful his methods are. His principles of natural psychology are, as he describes, simple and yet immensely practical and effective. --Dr. Laurie Jo Moore, MD, ABPN, FRANZCP--Reviews |
