Synopsis:

This is an indispensable guide to getting attention problems and careers under control. Career consultant and psychologist Blythe Grossberg offers advice on managing A.D.D. symptoms that arise during daily work routines - and provides insights from well-known entrepreneurs, CEOs, professional athletes and others afflicted with the condition who paved their way to success. Whether or not they have received a official diagnosis of A.D.D., readers will learn how to: identify their unique strengths and challenges; find the career path and work environment that fits their talents and goals; keep track of appointments, paper, projects and time; improve communication with co-workers, managers, and clients; and follow through and complete projects - on time. Both patients and doctors are in need of information that can help people with A.D.D. cope with the diagnosis and function effectively in their lives. This book promises to do just that and will, no doubt, be a unique resource on this subject.
