An exceptionally gifted man’s account of all forms of intelligence and praise for thinking outside the box.
Olivier Liron’s parents, two maths teachers, placed academic success above all else when he was a child. A baby in his cradle, they made a vow: he will be intelligent and much, much more.

Olivier Liron’s parents, two maths teachers, placed academic success above all else when he was a child. A baby in his cradle, they made a vow: he will be intelligent and much, much more. Intelligence, apart from making you stand out from the crowd, acts as a defence mechanism for social elevation. He stood out from the crowd and was isolated. He was able to count and calculate at the speed of light, could read fluently by the age of 4, knew all the Latin names of mosses at the age of 5, but had hardly any friends. However, Olivier understood from a very early age that he must find happiness in normality. Mediocre, sometimes dangerous relationships, constantly on an erratic search for love, making the worst mistakes, several compensations and various addictions.
Here, Olivier details his findings on his research of how to be normal and his exceptional avoidance strategies. Hilarious yet sometimes cruel with himself, he sets out his framework for his method of knowledge. What will he achieve with his life? What if, underneath it all, he is too wise to be ‘normal’? Normally gifted, a normal worker, normally disciplined? And, above all, what does it mean to be happy?
