Publisher's summary

Some people are born with a drive often seen in entrepreneurs, pro-athletes, inventors, adventurers, and Navy SEALs. It's in their DNA - research has shown that certain genes can manifest resilient and highly focused people who can also be impulsive and easily distracted.

While these traits enabled our ancient ancestors to survive, if you have these traits today, it can create havoc in your life. You may be diagnosed with ADHD, ADD, or OCD.

But what the world tells you is a disability or disorder may actually be your greatest gift. Now it's time to learn how to use it.

Here to help is author Doug Brackmann. Using his experience teaching the highly driven how to master their gift, Doug provides the insight and tools you need to master yours. You'll discover how to:

  • Stop self-sabotage forever.
  • End shame and doubt.
  • Find your wolf pack.
  • Use meditation to put yourself on the right path.

It's time to take control, harness your gift, and get the life you've always wanted.

great book to gain a better understanding

I'd always known there was something different about me. after reading this book I was able to pinpoint a lot of traits and identify how I can best use them in the real world to continue excelling.

great book. definitely recommended for any motivated individuals. not a book of motivation, but more a book of understanding why the motivated are the way they are.

Interesting book, narration underwhelming

I really enjoyed the book. Unfortunately, the narration was downright distracting. It sounded unprofessional and frankly boring the way it was red. I think that could turn a lot of people away from the audiobook.

Excellent Listen

This book explains so much! This will change things for me forever. I will refer to the hard copy over and over so that I can full embrace the content and put it into action.
