Description

Society, by statistical necessity, needs to focus on the majority. It needs to be built and designed for "the average". Society, by moral necessity, also needs to focus on the disadvantaged and disabled, helping those who cannot help themselves. But while the majority of society's resources, attention, and infrastructure is dedicated to average or below-average people, little-to-none of it is dedicated to the abnormally intelligent. And while having a high IQ is an overall net benefit in life, being a statistical intellectual freak is not without its drawbacks. Welcome to The Curse of the High IQ.

Whether you fall asleep during class, constantly ram heads with your boss, can't understand why people watch the Oscars, are an alcoholic, or are accused of having ADD, having a high IQ can be a maddening experience. What you see as the obvious solution is what the "normies" will fight against tooth and nail. Those Ds you keep getting in English? Your superior mind being held hostage by the boring and inferior mind of your teacher. And you'd like to start a family? Good luck finding an intellectual equal for a spouse. And so while the world obsesses on their own problems, no one is paying attention to the problems of the abnormally intelligent. However, that all changes now with Curse of the High IQ.

Curse of the High IQ is the first book specifically written for abnormally intelligent people. It identifies and addresses a litany of problems intelligent people face, analyzes them and provides solutions. But more importantly it aims to bring sanity to those who struggle with abnormal intelligence, especially those who are unaware they have it. So if you're constantly at odds with society, are suffering from depression or ennui, can't find any reason or agency in life, or just plain can't find any friends, consider purchasing this book.

As expected. Some good insights.

A quick read & some useful insights. Also did offer some solutions to the situation, some revelations too.

Good advice through the tantrum

Relatable advice for those who are smarter than the average bear, but be prepared for the author’s unbridled bitterness and sexist beliefs.

It is possible to be highly intelligent and compassionate. This book doesn’t take that approach.

A poor "book".

This a rant with an occasional point or two. It was a waste of a credit.

This book will likely provide you little benefit.

At first I was convinced the author was not as bright as he claimed. I soon remembered I paid real money for his book. Aaron: 1, Me: 0.

He does make some intriguing points, but he draws stunningly pessimistic conclusions from his probably factual observations.
