Liberating Everyday Genius A Revolutionary Guide for Identifying and Mastering Your Exceptional Gifts
Author: Mary-Elaine Jacobsen

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' feelings . . . a truth-teller who pushes toward perfection, driven by a sense of pers... more »onal mission . . . ?

If these traits sound familiar, then you may be an Everyday Genius, someone who shares qualities with figures as diverse as Bill Gates and Mother Teresa. These are people who break the mold and change the world, who actualize their singular talents, who don't hesitate to "think different." They are not a tiny group of rocket scientists or profoundly brilliant prodigies, nor are they all former straight-A students. They are real people of unusual vision who share one overarching characteristic: They push progress forward.

Far richer than standard IQ and as thought-provoking as Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence, psychologist Mary-Elaine Jacobsen's Liberating the Everyday Genius draws on a wide range of groundbreaking research and her own clinical experience to show America's twenty million gifted adults who possess exceptional abilities how to identify and unlock their extraordinary potential.

Liberating the Everyday Genius presents the first practical tool for measuring unconventional "evolutionary intelligence." It identifies the dynamic interaction between multiple abilities, driven effort, sense of mission, and a need for revolutionary action. The sum of these seemingly disparate traits produces a new kind of intelligence.

Jacobsen's exploration of everyday genius cautions that in a society that loves innovation but is suspicious of innovators, such exceptional gifts often come at a high price. This revolutionary book demystifies what it means to be gifted. It offers practical guidance for eliminating self-sabotage, underachievement, relationship problems, low self-esteem, and regret. It also helps Everyday Geniuses and those who know, love, and work with them how to understand and support these unique personality traits.

This book contains an in-depth personality-type profile reminiscent of the Myer-Briggs and the Enneagram that allows you to rate your Evolutionary Intelligence Quotient. Liberating the Everyday Genius is the next step in our understanding of human intelligence--mapping the new frontier for gifted adults and for their families, friends, bosses, and colleagues.
