Genius and the Debt of Strength is a non-fiction book written by Newell Dwight Hillis. The book explores the concept of genius and the burden of responsibility that comes with it. Hillis argues that those who possess great talent and intellect have a duty to use their gifts for the betterment of society, and to not do so is a betrayal of their potential. The author draws on examples from history and literature to illustrate his points, including figures such as Michelangelo, Shakespeare, and Beethoven. Hillis also examines the role of education in cultivating and nurturing genius, and the importance of humility and selflessness in those who possess it. Overall, Genius and the Debt of Strength is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between talent, responsibility, and the greater good. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the nature of genius and its impact on society.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Investment of Influence: A Study of Social Sympathy and Service, by Newell Dwight Hillis.
