The lament from within that cold refrigerator of a highly analytical mind is "EAT ME BEFORE I GO BAD."

The gifted are a terribly under-served community. I understand it more from the childhood side having a child that fits the category , but I imagine as an adult it does not get any easier. I am delighted that "The Little Book On Meaning" was worthy of your inclusion. I have a lot of compassion for the 'highly analytical'.
