• Tying your identity to being a whiz kid can make for some not-so-fun existential crises down the line.
• But fear not! With a bit of elbow grease and a good ol’ reality check, they can harness their talent and soar.

🎥 Here’s a deep dive into why sometimes it’s tough at the top.

• Rather than wading through pages, look for patterns, and connect the dots.
• Dive in! Take notes, doodle in the margins, and pick arguments with fictional characters.
