About this listen
Society, by statistical necessity, needs to focus on the majority. It needs to be built and designed for "the average". Society, by moral necessity, also needs to focus on the disadvantaged and disabled, helping those who cannot help themselves. But while the majority of society's resources, attention, and infrastructure is dedicated to average or below-average people, little-to-none of it is dedicated to the abnormally intelligent. And while having a high IQ is an overall net benefit in life, being a statistical intellectual freak is not without its drawbacks. Welcome to The Curse of the High IQ.
Whether you fall asleep during class, constantly ram heads with your boss, can't understand why people watch the Oscars, are an alcoholic, or are accused of having ADD, having a high IQ can be a maddening experience. What you see as the obvious solution is what the "normies" will fight against tooth and nail. Those Ds you keep getting in English? Your superior mind being held hostage by the boring and inferior mind of your teacher. And you'd like to start a family? Good luck finding an intellectual equal for a spouse. And so while the world obsesses on their own problems, no one is paying attention to the problems of the abnormally intelligent. However, that all changes now with Curse of the High IQ.
Curse of the High IQ is the first book specifically written for abnormally intelligent people. It identifies and addresses a litany of problems intelligent people face, analyzes them and provides solutions. But more importantly it aims to bring sanity to those who struggle with abnormal intelligence, especially those who are unaware they have it. So if you're constantly at odds with society, are suffering from depression or ennui, can't find any reason or agency in life, or just plain can't find any friends, consider purchasing this book.

His amusingly strident and provocative ranting is entertaining enough to see you through the parts of the book where one is inclined to doubt his thesis - and his argument is strong enough to interest you during the rest of it.
It's all very interesting - as long as you don't think too carefully about the angry, nihilistic premises on which it's based.
The narrator is good to, and captures the tone of the author well.
Clarey's usual pugnacious and amusing style.

At least you, like myself will have clarity and closure on what’s probably been hell after reading this if you’re higher than average intelligence. Good luck friend.

In the last chapter the Author offers his advice, which boils down to: get your IQ tested, become selfemployed, and don’t let the other non-gifteds get you down.
