The power of different

In this book, Dr. Gail Saltz examines the latest scientific discoveries and profiles famous geniuses who have been diagnosed with various brain 'problems,' including learning disabilities, ADD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and autism.

She demonstrates how specific deficits in certain areas of the brain are directly associated with the potential for great talent.

The book highlights how individuals with these conditions have not only made the most of their circumstances but have flourished because of them, by identifying areas of interest, developing workarounds, creating supportive environments, and forging rewarding relationships.
