Publisher's Synopsis
Unfortunately, no cure currently exists for ADHD. Therefore, treatment focuses on symptom management. Although the symptoms of ADHD may change with age, teens with ADHD still require treatment to target these symptoms and may require treatment into adulthood.
Forbes and other American business magazines regularly cite the increasing demand for these "soft skills" in the workplace. Labels like teamworking, creativity, critical thinking, emotional intelligence and empathy, executive functioning, and effective decision-making describe some of the most sought-after skills.
Coincidentally, these same skills could empower improved coping in a rapidly changing world, performance in college and other career preparation settings, and functioning in the world of work. A place where learning to effectively encounter failure is as important as knowing how to succeed - where discovering and motivating self toward a fulfilling life purpose offers the greatest reward.
This book provides young people effective access to these skills. It is an important read for any young adult - ADHD or not - tasked with creating their life in today's complex and changing world.
