All personal gifts come with a dark side. High ambition can lead to arrogance, if unmanaged. Great power can lead to great abuse, if unchecked. Artistic brilliance can provoke private suffering—if not balanced with periods of peace, enjoyment and non-doing. I’ve watched a lot of documentaries on superstar artists, athletes and industrialists this summer and have noted these common threats.

My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness. You can order it now by clicking here.

All genius has a dark side. So whether it's a Beethoven or a Buffett, whether it's a Federer or a Serena Williams, whether it is a Jean-Michel Basquiat, the things that allow for genius all have a downside or a dark side. Here's some examples. Someone whois absolutely brilliant at execution has a dark side to manage. of impatience. Someone like Steve Jobs, who was a fanatical perfectionist, could be seen as demanding. Someone who is amazingly creative could self-sabotage with too many ideas. The key is this, honor your gift, manage the downside.
