Why Smart People Hurt
What Everyone Should Know
It’s likely that you’re a smart, sensitive, creative person who’s identified certain challenges that come with being creative and sensitive. But have you ever identified the challenges that come with being smart? Likely not!

These consequences include racing brain dangers, existential despair, special anxiety reactions, and many others, including powerful feelings of isolation and alienation.
These challenges can prove life-altering and even life-threatening. Learn all about them—and what you can do to meet them. This unique webinar, presented by the author of Why Smart People Hurt and Why Smart Teens Hurt, will open your eyes … and maybe do you a world of good!
