The Inner Experience of Giftedness | ADJ Volume 18

E-Journal | Advanced Development | The inner experience of giftedness has been neglected in most research and theories, especially in adults. Consequently, definitions of giftedness that exist do not reflect how gifted adults see themselves and in what ways they value their giftedness. In this thought provoking volume, Guest Editor Willem Kuipers brings together articles from around the globe to examine the inner experience of giftedness. In these articles, authors explore the “higher intelligence” of intuition, the transformative power of mindfulness, the practicality of comprehending rational versus experiential thinking, and the role of persona in psychosocial development. “Lives of Positive Disintegration” is based on Michael Piechowski’s keynote address at the 2018 Dabrowski Congress. A poetic narrative, poetry, and two enlightening book reviews complete this volume.
