We explore the inner lives of gifted adults—their sensitivity, creativity, intensity, and the unique challenges they face trying to make meaning in a chaotic world. Dr. Maisel offers no-nonsense advice and practical frameworks for managing the mental chatter, perfectionism, and existential dread that often come with a gifted mind. This is a powerful conversation about taking responsibility for your inner world and choosing to become the author of your own experience. 🔑 What We Talk About: • The myth of the tortured genius • Existential depression and meaning-making • Why gifted adults often feel like outsiders • How to “redesign your mind” and quiet mental chatter • Dr. Maisel’s definition of meaning and how to create it • The role of creativity in the life of the gifted adult • How smart people get stuck—and how to get unstuck • The difference between coaching and therapy for gifted folks 📚 Resources Mentioned: Why Smart People Hurt https://amzn.to/41gC9kX Redesign Your Mind https://amzn.to/45cVrJb Eric’s Website https://ericmaisel.com/ Find Eric on LinkedIn   / eric-maisel   Find Eric on Facebook   / eric-maisel-113228538749001   ✨ Want more?
