sergeant. Does this abusive style help students excel?

“Would I have to settle on a ‘practical job’ and pursue my various passions on the side or choose among my interests and

just commit to one thing?

“Both options made my heart ache… I knew I could be doing more – that I had more to offer the world.” -

Emilie Wapnick, author of the Renaissance Business program - "use your multipotentiality as fuel for income."

Why Smart People Hurt: A Guide for the Bright, the Sensitive, and the Creative, by Eric Maisel, PhD

My review (on Amazon) for the book: Being exceptionally gifted and talented does not include assurance that

you can realize your multiple talents, nor is it a guarantee of eminence or even success in life.

As Dr. Linda Silverman, director of the Gifted Development Center, notes, “The natural trajectory of

giftedness in childhood is not a six-figure salary, perfect happiness, and a guaranteed place in Who’s Who."

Page 9: Developing Creativity newsletter 10.18.14

In "Why Smart People Hurt" Dr. Maisel delineates a number of both external and internal impacts on high ability people, providing information about these often

subtle influences, and giving suggestions to enhance self-understanding and emotional health to help people more fully use their capabilities, making their lives more creative and fulfilled, to the benefit of others as well as themselves.
