Benefits

Working and personal life
Disadvantages
Theoretical points are not discussed in depth
My Brain is Hyper – Cathy Assenheim
Verdict: For HIP and hypersensitive
We continue with Cathy Assenheim's best seller. This book is a great mix between scientific research and clinical research, which will give you a good overview of what the HIP.
Little more (and that's why he's in the top of the ranking): the book also deals with hypersensitivity and the consequences that happen when you have a "hyper" brain (high potential + hypersensitive).
Benefits
Very complete as it also addresses hypersensitivity
Scientific data
Disadvantages
Not necessarily suitable for all readers
The ordinary gifted – Nicolas Gauvrit
Verdict: For scientific details
We continue with Nicolas Gauvrit's book. I loved it very much because it goes against the current of what can be read everywhere.
Here, the author relies only on scientific research and is therefore interested in those whom he calls the gifted "ordinary". Those of everyday life, who are well, and who are not detected a priori.
If like me you love the exact sciences, then this book is for you!
Benefits
100% based on science
Give another picture of the HIP
Disadvantages
Few or no practical tips for everyday life
The Adult Surdoué – Monique de Kermadec
Verdict: For the psychology of HIP
This work by Monique de Kermadec is one of the first I have read on the subject.
It is based on clinical research, but with a more in-depth focus on what can be put in place in daily life.
He may be a less general public, but just as interesting to me.
Benefits
To understand the psychological functioning of the HIP
Disadvantages
Not suitable for all readers
Too smart to be happy? – Jeanne Siaud-Facchin
Verdict: The best seller of the subject
While almost all of the previous books were based solely on scientific research, this is Jeanne Siaud-Facchin using only her own clinical research.
Thanks to his many experiences as a psychologist specializing in HIP, it emerges some broad guidelines on what it is like to be a zebra, and how to tame his dourance in everyday life.
Benefits
For everyone, it's a general public book
We must recognize ourselves in the writings
Disadvantages
Attention to the barnum effect
Good to start, but lack of depth
The Adulte Surdoué: the conquest of happiness – Monique de Kermadec
Verdict: Focus on well-being
We continue with the Monique shrink of Kermadec (who is a very prolific author, you will see). Here, she focuses on a point of HIP : how to limit the suffering of HIP Thanks to various exercises that she puts in place herself in her firm.
The therapeutic tools offered by the psychologist are in my opinion very interesting to follow, even in "self-medication". They allow to limit the feeling of lag with others (in love).
Benefits
Specialised in its theme, so we approach in depth
Disadvantages
If you're new, go your way.
Psychology of the High Potential – Nathalie Clobert & Nicolas Gauvrit
Verdict: For professionals
This book is reserved for the bravest of you or professionals. Nathalie Clobert and Nicolas Gauvrit have involved various professionals working around the HIP. Everything goes from building intelligence models to developing the brain of the zebras.
If you like scientific literature then go! Similarly, if you regularly accompany HIP, you will find many techniques to implement.
Benefits
Very complete, ideal for professionals accompanying HIP
Disadvantages
Much too long / detailed / complicated for a lambda drive
I Think Too – Christel Petitcollin
Verdict: We stay on his hunger
Another bestseller from HIP. Christel Petitcollin describes the thought patterns facing the HIP. It's pretty interesting!
However, I put it in the bottom of the ranking... because by reading it, I can't help but see a huge barnum effect. In my opinion, all those who read it will reveal themselves HIP. That said, it is pleasant to read.
Benefits
Nice to read
Disadvantages
Attention to the huge barnum effect: everyone will discover HIP reading it
Lack of depth
Surdouin and Love – Monique de Kermadec
Verdict: Rare subject but nothing new
Third book by Monique de Kermadec, this time dedicated to the love of gifted adults. To face the traps of love on which the HIP will fall, the author gives us the keys to live a happy couple life and flourish in a long life for two.
The book is generally good, but I ranked it moderately well because I didn't learn much. The other books by Monique de Kermadec are really great. This one a little less. I was disappointed.
Benefits
A topic rarely discussed in such detail
Disadvantages
Not much new in it.
