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 challenges are very real. A smart person must deal with both real-world consequences of being smart and the psychological and emotional consequences of being smart. And there are many of them!

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!

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

+ The nature of the special challenges facing smart people

+ How to effectively deal with these many special challenges

+ Why thinking provokes anxiety—and what to do about it

+ The challenging nature of mainstream culture and mass society

+ The smart gap—what to do when you’re smart but not quite smart enough

+ The god-bug syndrome—what it is and how to handle it

+ How upgrading your personality will increase your smarts!
