Being gifted is a wonderful asset for succeeding in life. So why are there so many unhappy gifted adults? Why are so many former precocious children experiencing social, professional and romantic failure? Why do high-potential women and men struggle so much with their difference?

Drawing on her experience as a clinician and the latest research on the subject, Monique de Kermadec's new book is an indispensable guide to understanding gifted adults.

This book also offers gifted people the keys they need to learn to value themselves again, build themselves up, find their soulmate, and finally flourish in the fullness of their talents and extraordinary personality. It is also addressed to their loved ones, fundamental allies who can help them defuse their patterns of failure.
