Overcoming handicaps

Archer Wallace

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In Overcoming handicaps, Archer Wallace examines the lived realities of physical, social, and psychological limitation, presenting disability not as a singular deficit but as a complex human condition shaped by environment, attitude, and opportunity. The book blends reflective prose with practical observation, likely drawing on biographical or instructive traditions common to early self-improvement and moral literature. Its style is direct yet humane, emphasizing perseverance, adaptation, and dignity while situating personal struggle within broader ethical questions about society's treatment of vulnerability and resilience. Wallace writes with the authority of a moral commentator attentive to the intersection of character and circumstance. Whether shaped by personal acquaintance with disability, reformist thought, or an educational impulse to encourage readers facing adversity, he appears motivated by a desire to reframe handicap as a challenge that can be met through courage, discipline, and social understanding. His perspective reflects a period in which literature often sought to edify as well as inform. This book will reward readers interested in disability history, inspirational literature, and the cultural language of perseverance. Though some of its assumptions may reflect its time, Overcoming handicaps remains valuable for its serious engagement with endurance, self-fashioning, and the human will to transcend imposed limits.

Rethinking Intelligence - A...

Rina Bliss

A genetics expert and professor challenges our understanding of intelligence, explaining what it truly means to be “smart,” why conventional assessments are misleading, and what everyone can do to optimize their potential.
Growing up in middle-class suburban Los Angeles in the 1980s, Rina Bliss saw intelligence as her ticket out. Like height and stature, intelligence was said to run in families. The prevailing idea was that mental capacity was determined by our DNA and could be measured; a simple IQ test could predict a child’s future.
Yet, once Dr. Bliss looked closer, first as a student, then as a scientist, and later as a mom of identical twins who share a genome, she began to challenge conventional wisdom about innate intelligence. In Rethinking Intelligence, she shares her findings, drawing on cutting-edge scientific research to offer a new model for how we understand, define, and assess intelligence, using a measurement that is far more flexible and expansive.
Intelligence has little to do with standardized test results or other conventional measures of intellect, Dr. Bliss argues. Intelligence is a process, a journey defined by change that cannot be scored or taken away. Intelligence is influenced by our surroundings in ways that are often overlooked—more than Baby Mozart or flash cards or superfoods, factors like stress, connection, and play actually sculpt young minds.
In Rethinking Intelligence, Dr. Bliss shares insights from the burgeoning science of epigenetics to help us harness our environments to empower our minds. If we truly want to nurture potential, we must eliminate toxic stress so that our genes can work optimally, in harmony with our environment. Dr. Bliss offers successful strategies we can use as individuals and a society, including embracing a growth mindset, prioritizing connection, becoming more mindful, and reforming systemic issues—poverty, racism, the lack of quality early childhood education—that have a negative and lasting neurobiological impact.
Joining acclaimed works by Carol Dweck, Amy Cuddy, and James Clear, Rethinking Intelligence reframes human behavior and intellect, offering a new perspective for understanding ourselves and our children, and the practical tools necessary to thrive.
