Are you relentlessly curious and creative, always willing to rock the boat in order to get things done...extremely energetic and focused, yet constantly switching gears...intensely sensitive, able to intuit subtly charged situations and decipher others' feeling? If these traits sound familiar, then you may be an Everyday Genius - an ordinary person of unusual vision who breaks the mold and isn't afraid to push progress forward....
As thought-provoking as Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence, psychologist Mary-Elaine Jacobsen's The Gifted Adult draws on a wide range of groundbreaking research and her own clinical experience to show America's 20 million gifted adults how to identify and free their extraordinary potential. The Gifted Adult presents the first practical tool for rating your Evolutionary Intelligence Quotient through an in-depth personality-type profile.
Demystifying what it means to be a gifted adult, this book offers practical guidance for eliminating self-sabotage and underachievement, helping Everyday Geniuses and those who know, love, and work with them to understand and support the exceptional gifts inherent in these unique personality traits.

This book explains everything so clearly and has shown me why I’ve succeeded as I have in spite of the odds. Now that I’m at a midlife crisis point I feel guided and inspired to reach my potential. I’m incredibly grateful to the author.
Excellent narration as well!
A book to inspire

The author seems to think extemely superior people feel a need to achieve great things in the view of society and to validate that they are special and not misfits due to their being broken.
Think about it. If you're vastly different you really don't fit in. When you're young you eventually see that you are becomming increasingly different from your peers. Eventually they begin to notice. Your interests aren't there's but you want to fit in. You're human, thus gregarious.
You're in for a bumpy ride until you figure it all out.
What I did was read books on psychology, philosophy and religions of the world to try to grasp what was going on. I had no one around to confide in as they didn't think like I did and couldn't understand. But you can find books and use your own, very functional brain to figure it out.
You'll learn, hell you're brilliant. Just the sooner you realize you're not broken. In fact, the problem is you work way better than anyone else you're apt to encounter. Yep, it can get pretty lonely. Dig into those books and the internet.
Study your environment and camouflage yourself.
Realize that You live in a world of billions of people and maybe, a few million are like you. Don't seek peers to socialize with, the odds are small that you will find them.
Use books and the internet to exercise your higher mind through studying the works of kindred spirits, past, present and future.
However, your daily reality is that You live in a world of people whose development, compared to yours, are mostly like young adults and children to a normal adult. You can enjoy them, they are people too.
Realize that your gifts ARE gifts. Use them to pursue joy for yourself and others. Camouflage is your friend. Like with rare precious even magical material gifts, it's not wise to prove you have them and show them off. Use them to give good times, lend assistance to others and to enjoy yourself. Why is this way of life any less desireable than extreme achievement in business, technology, the arts or other "normally accepted" yardsticks of "Greatness"? It's wiser, and more fun, to give and take joy and lend and receive personal assistance in your own little neck of the woods than to push for world fame and validation.
Maybe worth a listen.

It reads more like a branding opportunity. The writing style is presumptuous, prescriptive, ingratiating and cloying.
Here's some truly meaningless and hollow phrases:
"liberation founded on authenticity" -self help bs
"as you elevate your souls frequency" - did science jump out the window on this?
"everyday geniuses" - self negating, ingratiating, innaccurate. Geniuses are exceptional by definition. Not everyday or common place.
"False self vs true self" - further self help bs with no research backing
For a book that often references the "Revolutionary" it's simply another self help book recycling the same tropes and tactics of the previous. Glad I got my audible credit back.
