Gifted Grownups: The Mixed Blessings of Extraordinary Potentials

Description: What makes people gifted? How does being identified as a "smart kid" early on affect career choice, friendships, and romantic pairings in later life? Why do some talented and gifted children become Mozarts and Einsteins, while others drop out of intellectual pursuits? This work, based on a ten-year study, answers these questions by charting the life paths of 100 gifted adults. Using stories and examples, it traces three types of gifted adults - strivers, superstars, and independents - and examines the implications of being an "A" student in a "C" world.
