These skills have been shown to help even where other approaches have failed. Science shows that they are useful in virtually every area - mental health, physical health, social processes, and performance.

This is the self-help book for people who don't usually like self-help books. In Hardcore Self Help: F**K Depression, I talk to you like a friend. That means I speak directly to you, without psychobabble. Instead I tell you why your brain is such a troll.

Would you be open to doing so, even when it involved acts that may seem unforgivable? Would you be willing to be gentle and sympathetic with yourself?

What does it mean to be an adult? In the 20th century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they’re all valid, but any one person’s choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult.

I didn't write it to make a lot of money, but out of a need to survive, and to hopefully help others who hear it. It is born out of my story of living with a mental illness. I write about things in this book that made life easier, and at times, probably kept me alive.

Publisher's summary
Millions of black men battle with ADHD. They were never diagnosed, misinformed, or don't ask for help. Their marriages, careers, relationships, and mental health are casualties of the daily struggle. But it doesn't have to be this way.
There hasn’t been a handbook that articulates the ADHD black experience until now. There's no longer a need to feel shame, feel alone, or judge one’s self. Black men now have practical steps to create a better tomorrow, no matter how they’re feeling today.
Reflecting on his personal life and career after getting fired from and quitting his 14th job, Vernon T. Foster II started asking some hard questions. Those questions led to his ADHD diagnosis at 36, and his mission became clear: help other black men understand the role ADHD plays in all aspects of their lives and a better way to thrive.
In this audiobook, Foster connects the dots in a way that's real, relatable, and rooted in experience. His Five Ways Forward offers a tool kit and foundation to get started and build upon. The audiobook is short by design. There’s no hype. What you see is what you get. A perspective from someone living it daily with a message of hope and inspiration to keep going.

Superheroes don't start from glorious beginnings. Their origins are almost always marked by traumatic events that leave them helpless and scared. Batman witnessed his parents' murder. Superman was sent away from his dying planet with no one to guide him as he grew up. Orphaned Catwoman was forced to steal food to survive on the streets of Gotham. What makes these superheroes super is their determination to not be defined by helplessness. They embrace their origins, their flaws, and their mistakes and strive every day to become the best versions of themselves.

After three years of living his dream as a professional baseball pitcher, Mike Robbins had an arm injury that benched him for good, and when this happened, he had to figure out who he was without the identity of "baseball player" - a process fraught with emotional highs and lows. He quickly realized that the self-criticism and self-doubt he was feeling are epidemic in our culture. Too often we base our value on our external world - our jobs, finances, appearance, or various other factors.

What does it mean to be an adult? In the 20th century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they’re all valid, but any one person’s choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult.

Story4 out of 5 stars 304
Superheroes don't start from glorious beginnings. Their origins are almost always marked by traumatic events that leave them helpless and scared. Batman witnessed his parents' murder. Superman was sent away from his dying planet with no one to guide him as he grew up. Orphaned Catwoman was forced to steal food to survive on the streets of Gotham. What makes these superheroes super is their determination to not be defined by helplessness. They embrace their origins, their flaws, and their mistakes and strive every day to become the best versions of themselves.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 71
After three years of living his dream as a professional baseball pitcher, Mike Robbins had an arm injury that benched him for good, and when this happened, he had to figure out who he was without the identity of "baseball player" - a process fraught with emotional highs and lows. He quickly realized that the self-criticism and self-doubt he was feeling are epidemic in our culture. Too often we base our value on our external world - our jobs, finances, appearance, or various other factors.
