Samenvatting

This book reveals the dramatic stories of twenty outstandingly gifted people as they grew from early promise to maturity in Britain. Recorded over thirty-five years by award-winning psychologist Joan Freeman, these fascinating accounts reveal the frustrations and triumphs of her participants, and investigate why some fell by the wayside whilst others reached fame and fortune.

Joan Freeman’s insights into the twists and turns of these lives are fascinating and deeply moving. She shows us that while fate has a part to play, so does a personal outlook which can see and grab a fleeting chance, overcome great odds, and put in the necessary hard work to lift childhood prodigy to greatness. Readers will identify with many of the intriguing aspects of these people’s lives, and perhaps learn something about themselves too.
