This book by Alice Miller came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Tim Ferriss. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
Now revised and updated to reflect the author's new insights, this modern classic explains why many of the most successful children and adults are plagued by feelings of emptiness and alienation--and tells how to break the cycle.
“first i'll recommend books and these were recommended by multiple people there are a few the drama of the gifted child which is really the drama of the sensitive child”— Tim Ferriss
