Publisher's Synopsis
Empathy and overwhelm; kindness and frustration; admiration and alienation; resilience and despair. The journey of an individual with high potential (HP) is riddled with contrast. Though they are gifted with extraordinary capacities, talents, and wondrous possibilities - the HP life is also loaded with profound pressure, fueled by the isolation of feeling constantly misunderstood. The Burden of Brilliance provides an exploration of the intricate constellation of traits within High Potential Individuals, with an aim to offer necessary tools and clarity for such individuals and those closest to them.
The ability to learn rapidly and seemingly without effort is both a blessing and a curse. This HP experience frequently provokes envy, jealousy, and manipulation in colleagues, peers, and even family. How does one manage the estrangement of living with a broader spectrum of vision? This book takes you into the depths of HP individuals' hearts and minds, gaining insights into struggles and triumphs while proposing a path to harnessing such incredible potential. This book is a compelling guide for HPs to embrace their uniqueness, overcome challenges, and strive to find joy and freedom in the complexity of their experiences.
