Welcome to our coffee date. I met Christopher Langan for the first time in chapter 3 of Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Outliers. As I read on I learnt that a man with an IQ 45 points higher than Einstein, who taught himself to read by 3 and fell asleep during his SATs but still scored a perfect score among many other things, wasn’t living the life I imagined. Why? Is it a lie that IQ is a cornerstone of success? This story has all the answers. We even accidentally demystified Robert Oppenheimer along the way too and I may or may not have cried once or twice (I can neither confirm nor deny :D ) —one of the most informative episodes yet in the “Crafting an Unforgettable Presence” Series.
