Thanks for book refs. Would you recommend any of them for a bright teen? [1] sounded like a good candidate.

[1] is an exceptional book for a bright teen, especially so if you suspect the teen leans into their intelligence/abilities to gauge their self worth (I don't know a single person, let alone teen who doesn't do this). The book's main theme states that being a good player has nothing to do with skill, but rather with the ability to create playful environments that encourage growth, humility, and most importantly, more play.
Yep, they're both super approachable, [1] is a great way to get introduced to some deep philosophy in a fun way.
