Living with Intensity: Understanding the Sensitivity, Excitability, and Emotional Development of Gifted Children, Adolescents, and Adults Paperback – Illustrated, 23 Oct. 2009

Very well written book, clearly planned with the lay person in mind, not just for academics. A great introduction to Dabrowski's theories for anyone who is interested. I have a background in psychology and education and found it very enlightening (real world examples used throughout, as in other Piechowski books).

The book gives a readable account of Dabrowski's theory of positive disintegration, overexcitabilities, giftedness and the relationship between them. This is very useful in understanding the inner emotional and imaginational world of the gifted. This can be considered to come "straight from the horse's mouth" as one of the authors worked with Dabrowski himself.

Great book to understand Dabrowski's theories. Possibly one of the best ones to start learning about giftedness

good examples of OE gives a better understanding of the gifted and the way forward for many who live with OE

Provides much info for those who are learning about giftedness
