You’re already a good parent, but here’s how you can be even better: Do you keep doubting your parenting abilities, because it seems like every time you try harder, you also fail harder? It’s normal to feel this way–parenting is never easy. If you want to become the best parent you can be while staying true to yourself, then look no further.

Many of us know we're putting too much pressure on our kids - and on ourselves - but how do we get off this crazy train? We want our children to succeed, to be their best, and to do their best, but what if they are not on board? A few years ago, Ned Johnson and Bill Stixrud started noticing the same problem from different angles: even high-performing kids were coming to them acutely stressed and lacking any real motivation. Many complained that they had no real control over their lives.

In 1994, Driven to Distraction sparked a revolution in our understanding of attention deficit disorder. Now a second revolution is under way in the approach to ADD, and the news is great. Drug therapies, our understanding of the role of diet and exercise, even the way we define the disorder, all are changing radically. And doctors are realizing that millions of adults suffer from this condition, though the vast majority of them remain undiagnosed and untreated.

The best way to learn what’s possible is to look at what others have done. It is easier to believe you can accomplish something if others before you have shown the path to be walked upon. Moreover, some things you can tell yourself will get you through even the toughest of days, and these are all included in this motivational guide. How you can achieve more success is also addressed. The steps you need to take to achieve success, in a general sense, are typically similar. Knowing them is one thing. Taking those steps after listening to this, and taking action, is another.

For some kids, school offers a positive and engaging experience. For others, it's a boring, stressful, and frustrating waste of time. If your child is in the second category, why keep tormenting them? Instead, why not help them find an educational environment where they feel genuinely motivated, excited, and empowered? In this eye-opening book, Blake Boles makes the case for leaving conventional school and taking one of the many alternative paths through K-12 that exist today.

Publisher's summary
Warning. May cause rebellious thinking.
A tongue-in-cheek rebalancing of the ADHD story to make it badass. The medical community would have you believe that ADHD is overridingly bad, but Rachel Knight, master of clinical research and prior servant to the pharma company publishing machines, is here to tell you otherwise.
In this ground-breaking book, investigative journalist, Rachel Knight, shines a light on the "other" side of ADHD, after realising how successful ADHD entrepreneurs often are. A series of interviews with successful ADHD’ers deliver incredible insights that are jam-packed with advice from people who tackled the challenges of ADHD and won.
- “People with ADHD can actually have some of the most amazing ideas that can change the world." (Medical doctor and entrepreneur, Mo)
- “You need to do what you want to do. Trying to make other people happy, you’re just going to be messed up.” (High-risk investor, Alex)
- “ADHD can be a gift, but only if you really master how to channel it.” (Founder of multiple content businesses and musician, Kyle Goodwin)
- “When you run your own business, there's no cap on how much you can earn.” (Runner-Up Best New Business 2015, Kat Wczesniak)
Here’s a preview of what you’ll learn:
- Discover how symptoms of ADHD can be channeled to become an overall advantage.
- Understand the independent and questioning mindset of ADHD.
- Appreciate why ADHD is coined "the entrepreneur’s disease".
- Understand the ADHD approach to careers and finance.
- Uncover new insights into opposition and rebellion; where it comes from and how to harness it to live an independent life, from the mouths of adults who were oppositional as children and became successful, courageous adults.

Ryan Babineaux and John Krumboltz have come to a compelling conclusion: happy and successful people tend to spend less time planning and more time acting. They get out into the world, try new things, and make mistakes, and in doing so, they benefit from unexpected experiences and opportunities. Drawing on the authors’ research in human development and innovation, Fail Fast, Fail Often shows readers how to allow their enthusiasm to guide them, to act boldly, and to leverage their strengths - even if they are terrified of failure.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,287
Many of us know we're putting too much pressure on our kids - and on ourselves - but how do we get off this crazy train? We want our children to succeed, to be their best, and to do their best, but what if they are not on board? A few years ago, Ned Johnson and Bill Stixrud started noticing the same problem from different angles: even high-performing kids were coming to them acutely stressed and lacking any real motivation. Many complained that they had no real control over their lives.

Ryan Babineaux and John Krumboltz have come to a compelling conclusion: happy and successful people tend to spend less time planning and more time acting. They get out into the world, try new things, and make mistakes, and in doing so, they benefit from unexpected experiences and opportunities. Drawing on the authors’ research in human development and innovation, Fail Fast, Fail Often shows readers how to allow their enthusiasm to guide them, to act boldly, and to leverage their strengths - even if they are terrified of failure.

It's only because they like me. I was in the right place at the right time. I just work harder than the others. I don't deserve this. It's just a matter of time before I am found out. Someone must have made a terrible mistake. If you are a working woman, chances are this internal monologue sounds all too familiar. And you're not alone. A shocking number of accomplished women in all career paths and at every level feel as though they are faking it - impostors in their own lives and careers.

Dead cats. That's the image many people conjure up when you mention curiosity. An image perpetuated by a dusty old proverb that has long represented the extent of our understanding of the term. This book might not put the proverb to rest, but it will flip it upside down: far from killing anything, curiosity breathes new life into almost everything it touches.

Parents, educators, and the media wring their hands about the plight of America's children and teens - soaring rates of emotional problems, limited coping skills, disengagement from learning - and yet there are ways to reverse these disheartening trends. Teach Your Children Well acknowledges that every parent wants successful children. However, until we are clearer about our core values and the parenting choices that are most likely to lead to authentic, and not superficial, success, we will continue to raise exhausted, externally driven, impaired children.

Excellent Sheep takes a sharp look at the high-pressure conveyor belt that begins with parents and counselors who demand perfect grades and culminates in the skewed applications Deresiewicz saw firsthand as a member of Yale's admissions committee. As schools shift focus from the humanities to "practical" subjects like economics and computer science, students are losing the ability to think in innovative ways.

Written in Shipp's playfully authoritative, no-nonsense voice, The Grown-Up's Guide to Teenage Humans tells his story and unpacks practical strategies that can make a difference. Ultimately, it's not about shortcuts or magic words - as Shipp reminds us, it's about investing in kids and giving them the love, time, and support they need to thrive. And that means every kid is one caring adult away from being a success story.

Read this!!!
If you or anyone you know has ADHD, this book is extremely informative and helpful. I loved the different perspective and deeper break downs into the symptoms and ways it can effect the brain. Learning about the positive benefits of ADHD is also extremely comforting and encouraging. Learning what you thought was your weakness can actually be your strength is something worth reading. I highly recommend this book.

Really interesting
I really recommend this to anyone who knows someone with ADHD or who has it themselves, it's so refreshing to hear of all the incredible people (plus normal professional folks too) who can thank ADHD for their gifts and successes. Very cool.
