Gifted Adults (38 books)

A place to collect the few nonfiction books that discuss adult giftedness, and the challenges being gifted brings to every day life. Since there are only a tiny handful written with a fully adult focus, books are included that have relevant sections or chapters despite being written about children as a whole.
