About this listen

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.

Amazing Content but hard to follow

This is a real challenge. The content is rich and highly relevant. But the ‘audio edit’ and narration much less so. I’m going to have to get the book and re-listen. It’s worth it, but harder work than many Audible titles

Life-edifying

Great narration. Life-wisdom to avoid self-destructive tendencies. Worth every moment of it. And it’s free!

Narrated by Microsoft Sam’s wife

Terrible book with terrible boring content. Impossible to listen to for a longer duration because the narrator is extremely robotic.
