Acerca de esta escucha
Make your gifted life meaningful.
Overcome your unique challenges. The challenges smart and creative people encounter - from scientific researchers and genius award winners to best-selling novelists, Broadway actors, high-powered attorneys, and academics - often include anxiety, overthinking, mania, sadness, and despair. In Why Smart People Hurt, natural psychology specialist and creativity coach Dr. Eric Maisel draws on his many years of work with the best and the brightest to pinpoint these often devastating challenges and offer solutions based on the groundbreaking principles and practices of natural psychology.
Find meaningful success. Do you understand what meaning is, what it isn’t, and how to create it? Do you know how to organize your day around meaning investments and meaning opportunities? Are you still searching for meaning after all these years? Many smart people struggle with reaching for or maintaining success because, after all of the work they put into attaining it, it still seems meaningless. In Why Smart People Hurt, Dr. Maisel will teach you how to stop searching for meaning and create it for yourself.
Learn from a truly thought-provoking personal growth book. In Why Smart People Hurt, you will find:
- Evidence that you are not alone in your struggles with living in a world that wasn't built for you or your intelligence
- Logic- and creativity-based strategies to cope with having a brain that goes into overdrive at the drop of a hat
- Questions that will help you create your own personal road map to a calm and meaningful life
Consumers of true, natural self-help books for gifted people struggling with life, anxiety, and depression, like Living with Intensity, Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnoses of Gifted Children and Adults, and Your Rainforest Mind, will learn how to create meaning in their lives with Why Smart People Hurt by Dr. Eric Maisel.

Historia
Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent more than three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

Historia
When you let go, you live intuitively. Everything flows, because you are no longer attached to things being a certain way, to being a certain person or always being right. What a relief. The irony is that when you feel stuck in any area of your life - career, relationships, purpose, health or money - letting go can seem very hard. You cling on for dear life just at the moment you need to take the leap. In The Power of Letting Go, John Purkiss explains why we should let go and how we can do it, using proven techniques to make things happen.

In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?

I Don’t Want to Be an Empath Anymore is a gift for the jaded empath searching for authenticity in spirituality, and spirituality in being authentic - something beyond the clichéd, positive affirmations that seem to invalidate our anger, sadness, and pain. When we feel broken - and when real damage has been done, it’s not always helpful to ignore our feelings and tell ourselves that we are perfect and whole.

A groundbreaking book about personal growth that presents a uniquely effective set of five tools that bring about dynamic change. The Tools offers a solution to the biggest complaint patients have about therapy: the interminable wait for change to begin. The traditional therapeutic model sets its sights on the past, but Phil Stutz and Barry Michels employ an arsenal of techniques - "the tools" - that allow patients to use their problems as levers that access the power of the unconscious and propel them into action.

Historia
The science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture.

While I may disagree with the author’s core ideas, the book certainly has some interesting ideas and some broad ideas about how they might be implemented to help you manage the daily “meaning crisis.”
You know that horrible place where you wonder why you even try because your life is going nowhere and has no point? If you are prone to those moments then it is definitely worth a read.

I agree with the author on this point so it did not bother me; however, if you are religious this book will not be for you. The author clearly does not respect religious people and calls them " mystics", and speaks about the frustration of having a society where a significant portion of the population does not accept evolution. I agree, but I guess I still respect religious people enough to warn them off from reading something that will be insulting.
A lot of what you should think and not how

But I think the title is misleading. He begins with an accurate list of issues that had me nodding, and promptly shifted to making me cringe at examples of imbalance, anxiety, addiction, and personal dishonesty. These are what you call smart people? Perhaps the problem is defining "smart". Damasio suggests that without emotion to give meaning to choices otherwise intelligent people can't function. So yes, meaning is key to applying all those smarts, but this is more of a book on the possible pathology of an immature and/or imbalanced intelligence.
The pain that I know, and why people join intelligence clubs, is the extreme difficulty in sharing the things we see with those who do not see, will not see, and worst, think they see but are not self critical. There is pain in seeing eyes glaze over when we talk about ideas rather than events or people. Pain when we assume we are among equals but discover that we are alone and will not receive reciprocity. It is the loneliness a parent feels when they cannot connect with their teen to share a precious understanding. No love or rationale will open their ears. The pain of being utterly unable to understand the value system and behavior of crowds. The sheer disconnect with a self destructive world. What can we offer those who are so different?
That's what I hoped this book would talk about, even if only to say he understood it too, but again I remain alone.

I own 3 other books by this author and I was considerably surprised to read this one. It has been, not very successfully, camouflaged to hide the author’s true agenda.
