RE: Book Review: Curse of the High IQ by Aaron Clarey

I recently found this book recommendation when I scrolled twitter too. Since now I am seeing more than 4 people mentioning this, I should really give it a try. I've never seen a high IQ as a gift, in fact curse is probably something I'd agree on. My parents were so obsessed with IQ that when they know my score, they told everyone about it and put so much pressure on me. Later in life, I discovered a term, "gifted kid burnout" which I guess relates with high IQ becoming a curse. You know, maybe this book will add some more perspective.

I seen a few other recommendations for this book also. I thought it was a terrific read and really made a lot of sense. The author also describes high IQ as more of a curse than a gift. Plus the title 😆
Based on that, I would absolutely make some time to read this. That's really what this book was about. It just puts in writing what you probably already know but needed reinforced in your mind anyway. At the very least, you'll probably walk away with a better understanding of your feelings and also feeling a little better about things because you'll understand more fully why you feel that way.
