I would recommend reading "Curse of the Gifted" [0]. Its a quick post, not a book, but during the teenage years where even children who are not gifted tend to think they know everything, it can help them make the most out of their formative years. I didn't read it until I was 20, but it had a profound impact on the way I approach knowledge and learning.
