Call Number: BF637.S8 Kar

In a world that reveres wunderkinds, Karlgaard’s book champions for late bloomers who could benefit from letting go of societal pressure and discovering the freedom to grow and flourish on their own terms. While the phenomenal achievements by early bloomers should be celebrated, Karlgaard cautions against the constant focus on rigorous academic evaluations often used to validate the achievements of early bloomers. He also outlines the immense pressures that these validations exert on young minds today. This book will remind readers who feel uncertain in life to embrace the late bloomer within themselves and that opportunities to discover and fulfil potentials may present themselves later in life.
