امید این است که کتاب برانگیختن نبوغ کودکان در کلاس درس انگیزه جدیدی برای مربیان فراهم آورد که نبوغ درونی دانشآموزان و شادی یادگیری را به اولویتهای مهم هزاره جدید تبدیل کنند.پس از آنکه خواننده، مطالعهی این کتاب را آغاز میکند، برایش روشن خواهد شد که واژهی نابغه را به شکلی که دقیقا با کلمات خلاقیت، پویایی و انرژی، پتانسیل و شادی آموختن همراه است به کار برد.
I am the author of 20 books, including my latest The Power of Neurodiversity: Unleashing the Advantages of Your Neurodivergent Brain (Completely Updated and Revised Second Edition), which is a complete rewrite of a book I wrote with a similar title but slightly different subtitle in 2010.
My other books include: The Myth of the ADHD Child, 7 Kinds of Smart, Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom, and The Power of the Adolescent Brain. I've also written for Family Circle, Ladies Home Journal, and the AMA Journal of Ethics.
I see myself as a reader as much as, or even more than, a writer. Some of the books which I've enjoyed recently include Joseph and His Sons by Thomas Mann, The Story of the Stone/Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin, the complete Arabian Nights (3 volumes), translated by Malcolm C. Lyons, The Studs Lonigan Trilogy by James T. Farrell, and From Here to Eternity by James Jones.
Beyond literature and writing, my hobbies and pursuits include improvising on the piano, doing mindfulness meditation, watching great movies on The Criterion Channel, doing yoga, and cooking Mediterranean cuisine.
Married for twenty-five years, and now divorced, I live in a cute Victorian style home on a hill in Sonoma County, California with my dog Daisy.
