Description
Don't be distracted by the bad news about ADD. Meet seventeen people from all walks of life, including political advisor James Carville, Books-a-Million chairman Clyde Anderson, and JetBlue CEO David Neelman, who have succeeded in a wide variety of high-interest fields: professional athlete, musician, reporter, chef, sportscaster, photographer, police officer, CEO. These people did not succeed despite their ADD, they succeeded because of the special qualities that go hand in hand with the challenges of ADD. A bestselling expert in the field teams up with a mother of triplets with ADD to deliver a much-needed inspirational book that looks at ADD from a rarely seen positive angle.
