It's a really enchanting feeling to be a big fish in a small pond. How special! How proud! Even isolation and loneliness have a sweetness in their melancholy, which we embrace unawares. It is a somewhat different feeling to be a shark in an inflatable wading pool. Perhaps we might speak of a certain terrain, meaning the terrain for which mental health's DSM provides a basic roadmap. So what's the terrain? Imagine a circular table which is smooth and perhaps a little hilly at the center, which is where most people are. At the center, there are difficulties from time to time. People occasionally drink more than is wise, although they don't do this exactly every day. They can feel miserable, although misery does not keep them bedridden for months. They can also get pretty excited and lose a whole night's sleep, but not ten whole nights' sleep. They also have worries that are unhelpful and maybe even irrational, but these worries are never the central struggle in anyone's life. When you stray from the center and get towards the rocky edges, you start getting into more and more mental health issues: you get into the territory where the DSM-V, with all its flaws, offers a helpful roadmap. You can see how near or far things are to the center. As old sailors said, "Thar be dragons." With this roadmap, you venture too far in one direction, and you're in obsessive-compulsive disorder, and that is a behavioral health concern. You venture too far in another direction, and you find some kind of depression, whether unipolar or bipolar, and that is a behavioral health concern. You venture too far in all sorts of other directions, and you find autism, ADD, PTSD... and all of them are behavioral health concerns, which automatically include victum status, and all addressed (whether well or poorly) by the DSM-V. And then if you venture into one particularly unusual direction, what you find in the extremes of the gifted range is not even related to mental health concerns. It is pure and simple privilege. Not only is it privilege, but it is singularly impolitic to mention some of your struggles to a fellow human being, or anything that, because your realities of "I'm gifted" are jarringly askew from the content of their fantasies of "If I were rich and famous and mind-bogglingly gifted," and even when it is unavoidable, making the point that they do not even understand your level of giftedness is very, very threatening. And that's the hand you've been dealt. Which brings me to one final point in the book description: humility. Humility is a Philosopher's Stone that can find more wealth in a pile of straw than a miser or alchemist can find in rooms full of gold and silver. All of us need it, but for the profoundly gifted, that specific virtue is not just humanly necessary; it is the first and also final step of self-defense for the profoundly gifted. It is not just that, as I have been told, "The only true intelligence is humility." It's the equivalent of a martial art in which sighted students are told to keep their eyes open when they're sparring (instead of blundering about with their eyes closed).And on that track I would say, "Learn humility, but be very snobbish about who to choose it from." The Philokalia (along with St. John Chrysostom etc.) extol humility to high Heaven, but the Philokalia gives an important caveat: don't seek to learn humility from a man who is boastful. And really, some of the stuff I've seen, and you've seen, is vastly worse than mere boastfulness. People who tell you you're proud and you need to learn humility are almost always right. That said, however, don't try to learn humility from them. Seek out someone who is genuinely humble, and learn as much as you can. Pursue humility, but not under the dead hand of unprovoked efforts to teach you humility.

It's a lovely feeling to be a big fish in a small pond, but it's a slightly different experience being a shark in an inflatable wading pool. This book represents one profoundly gifted list of things he wished someone would have told him, and that he would like others to learn at a less costly price than he paid through experience. If it is successful, it will succeed as a good first word and not as any kind of last word: complete triumph would amount to, in letter and in spirit, being superseded by a "community wiki." The author is only too well aware that the collection is not in any way perfect. It is intended to stand in the tradition of wisdom literature--a tradition older than the Bible and newer than Seven Habits of Highly Effective People--and address the special needs within the profoundly gifted community. In that sense, for lack of anything better, it is to the author's knowledge pioneering and intended to open a conversation that would continue in other wisdom literature intended for that special need. And hint at what wisdom literature might look like for addressing that need. The author prays all the best for you, and hopes to shine a little light, even if it is just a little bit of light he has to give. People interested in the profoundly gifted experience might also read C.J.S. Hayward, Orthodox Theology and Technology: A Profoundly Gifted Autobiography.
