<em>The Atlantic’s</em> Helen Lewis joins Mona Charen to discuss <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/803542/the-genius-myth-by-helen-lewis/"><em>The Genius Myth</em></a>, her new book exploring whether genius is a real phenomenon or a socially constructed label. They examine how society elevates certain individuals—often more for charisma or timing than raw talent—and how the genius myth can excuse bad behavior while undervaluing empathy, humility, and collaboration. The conversation also touches on the “genius wives,” prodigies, the costs of fame, and Lewis's<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/06/transgender-youth-skrmetti/683350/?utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share"> recent piece</a> on the Skrmetti decision.
