Advance Praise for 'Mellow Out'
This book is Michael
Piechowski’s long awaited magnum opus on emotional
intelligence. It resonates with the real voices of gifted adolescents
who speak with insight and passion about the realities of their
emotional lives. Read it. It is an important book that elucidates what
bright teenagers think. Drawn into thematic order, using responses from
open-ended questionnaires, this book adds to the literature on
giftedness by going beneath the surface of high achievement into
development.

We who are intense and
passionate are blessed to have Michael Piechowski hold up this wise and

meaning to the depth of our experience. It is essential reading for us
and for our spouses, parents, teachers and friends. Thank you,
Michael.
