The Club of Genius Psychopaths. The Oddities and Quirks of the Great and Famous
Why do great people seem so strange to us? Perhaps their uniqueness is the key to genius?
- Beethoven was convinced that shaving robbed him of his creative luck, so he went for weeks unshaven.
- Paganini honed his craft by playing... the violin among graves, provoking the most sinister rumors.
- Agatha Christie invented her detective stories while lying in a bath of very hot water, eating apples one after another.
This book is a collection of amazing stories about geniuses whose "strangeness" became a source of inspiration and great discoveries. After each chapter, there is a professional analysis by psychologist Elena Kisheleva, revealing how internal conflicts and traumas give rise to unique talents and unconventional thinking.
Thanks to the skill of Mark Kotlyarsky, winner of the Yuri Nagibin Literary Prize, shocking facts turn into a tool for self-discovery. You will be able to look into the souls of geniuses and see: behind the brilliance of talent often lie pain, loneliness, and the struggle to be oneself.
The book is about the subconscious, working with the unconscious and internal setting for working through fears. It is suitable for those interested in humor, strange facts, psychology, who want to understand themselves better and change their thinking. For fans of Curious Medicine. An ideal gift for a friend for New Year or for a mom on her birthday. For readers of: "Transurfing Reality," "The Subconscious Can Do Anything," and "The Habit of Being Yourself" by authors: Joe Dispenza, John Kehoe, Vadim Zeland, and Louise Hay.
