The Genius Myth

The multifaceted lives of *intellectual prodigies* and the unique *psychological burdens* they face. They highlight the concept of *asynchronous development**, where a child’s mental growth significantly outpaces their physical and social maturity, often leading to **social isolation* and *underachievement**. Biographies of individuals like **William Sidis* and *Kim Ung-Yong* illustrate how early brilliance can result in public labels of failure when these figures choose quiet or unconventional lives. Furthermore, the texts explore how *existential anxiety* and a lack of effort-based skills can cause gifted youths to struggle within *traditional educational systems**. Ultimately, the collection advocates for **specialised support* that prioritises the emotional well-being of gifted individuals over their mere utility to society.
