My goal with Polymathlife.com is to build a community of like-minded individuals who refuse to be boxed in intellectually. Individuals who could never settle for just one discipline in life. Individuals who need new wide-ranging knowledge like air to breathe.
Because polymathy (not to be confused with polyamory!) often leads to social and personal misunderstandings and mislabeling, I seek to create a safe haven for those whose mental and emotional health has been affected by it. Since thoughts are at the core of a polymath mind, healing the polymath mind starts with understanding its functioning, needs, and thought process.
Often experiencing a backlash for their life priorities and choices that place their mental pursuits above all, not to mention bullying as polymaths often experience jealousy and other negativity related to their brainpower, polymaths’ mental health may be affected. The standard educational system is typically not equipped with providing the right learning methods for polymath kids, either, and a custom learning approach is often best.
Since a polymath usually absorbs information quicker than average, he/she is at risk of simply losing interest when the mind is ready for the next block of information (sometimes preferably on a different subject, too) while the classroom teacher isn’t.
