Why Smart People Hurt
I purchased this for my sister who is very bright and she's hyper sensitive. I thought this book would help her realize why she has struggled emotionally so much throughout her life. It's important for her to know she's not alone. Eric Maisel's books are easy self-help for the layperson.
