The Quick Start Guide to Adult ADHD

Do you ever feel like your brain is a bit like trying to listen to a radio station that's just out of range? You know, those moments when you're trying to focus on one station (let's say, doing the laundry), but you keep getting interference from other stations (like that sudden urge to organize your bookshelf alphabetically by author's middle name)? If this sounds all too familiar, then Extra Focus: The Quick Start Guide to Adult ADHD might just be the friendly companion you need. This book isn't a stuffy, clinical rundown of ADHD. It's more like a heart-to-heart chat with a good friend who just gets it. We'll unravel some of the myths and mysteries of the ADHD mind, learn why most self-help strategies don't work for us, and how we can develop strategies that work with our brain instead of against it. Here's a taste of the fun, practical advice you'll find tucked inside: The 4 Cs of Motivation-Captivate, Create, Compete, Complete-geared toward building momentum and driving your ADHD brain toward success. Practical tips for developing habits and routines that don't feel like cruel and unusual punishment. Managing your energy and avoiding ADHD burnout. Navigating the clockless mind, including strategies for time estimation and managing chronic lateness. Emotional management strategies to overcome success amnesia, imposter syndrome, and rejection sensitivity. Strategies to remember the important stuff (and where you put your car keys). Understanding and managing your attention and navigating through irresistible tangents. Extra Focus is like your personal roadmap to understanding and living with adult ADHD. It's a no-judgement zone filled with understanding and guidance from someone who understands what it's like to live with ADHD (in a world that doesn't seem to understand it). But it's more than just a guide-it's a call to embrace your ADHD, to understand it, not as a limitation, but as a different way of experiencing the world. It's an invitation to step out of the shadows of misunderstanding and stigmatization, and into the light of self-awareness and acceptance. So, are you ready to dive in and explore your unique brain in all its ADHD glory? Are you up for turning those daily struggles into opportunities for growth and self-understanding? Great! Grab a cup of coffee (or tea, or that smoothie you forgot you made earlier), curl up in your favorite reading spot, and let's get started with Extra Focus: The Quick Start Guide to Adult ADHD. Remember, we're all in this ADHD journey together, and there's no better time than now to start embracing our wonderful weird, sometimes chaotic, and utterly unique minds.

Very interesting book for anyone interested in knowing more about the secret service, the book is in great condition, just a few bent pages!

The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “This is one of those books that will go down as the seminal work—the determinative work—in this field. . . . Terrifying.”—Rachel Maddow The first definitive account of the rise and fall of the Secret Service, from the Kennedy assassination to the alarming mismanagement of the Obama and Trump years, right up to the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6—by the Pulitzer Prize winner and #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of A Very Stable Genius and I Alone Can Fix It Carol Leonnig has been reporting on the Secret Service for The Washington Post for most of the last decade, bringing to light the secrets, scandals, and shortcomings that plague the agency today—from a toxic work culture to dangerously outdated equipment to the deep resentment within the ranks at key agency leaders, who put protecting the agency’s once-hallowed image before fixing its flaws. But the Secret Service wasn’t always so troubled. The Secret Service was born in 1865, in the wake of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, but its story begins in earnest in 1963, with the death of John F. Kennedy. Shocked into reform by its failure to protect the president on that fateful day in Dallas, this once-sleepy agency was radically transformed into an elite, highly trained unit that would redeem itself several times, most famously in 1981 by thwarting an assassination attempt against Ronald Reagan. But this reputation for courage and excellence would not last forever. By Barack Obama’s presidency, the once-proud Secret Service was running on fumes and beset by mistakes and alarming lapses in judgment: break-ins at the White House, an armed gunman firing into the windows of the residence while confused agents stood by, and a massive prostitution scandal among agents in Cartagena, to name just a few. With Donald Trump’s arrival, a series of promised reforms were cast aside, as a president disdainful of public service instead abused the Secret Service to rack up political and personal gains. To explore these problems in the ranks, Leonnig interviewed dozens of current and former agents, government officials, and whistleblowers who put their jobs on the line to speak out about a hobbled agency that’s in desperate need of reform. “I will be forever grateful to them for risking their careers,” she writes, “not because they wanted to share tantalizing gossip about presidents and their families, but because they know that the Service is broken and needs fixing. By telling their story, they hope to revive the Service they love.”

The Battle That Changed the World

In 480 B.C., the mighty Persian king Xerxes led a massive force to the narrow mountain pass called Thermopylae, anticipating no significant resistance in his bid to conquer Greece. But the Greeks, led by Leonidas and a small army of Spartan warriors, took the battle to the Persians and nearly halted their advance.
 
Paul Cartledge's riveting, authoritative account of King Leonidas and the legendary 300 illuminates this valiant endeavor that changed the way future generations would think about combat, courage, and death.

Lisa Morgan

This memoir stunningly captures subjects such as self discovery, determination,overcoming obstacles, motherhood, challenges of traveling to a new culture, and gratitude for life. This book contains illustrations and even a few recipes!! 

Heavy Paperback (2 to 4 lbs)

In 2008, Lisa Baker Morgan, a thirty-eight-year-old, newly divorced mother, unexpectedly found herself staring down death in a Monaco hospital, nine time zones away from her two young daughters in Los Angeles. After facing mortality and surviving, her life took on a sense of urgency to experience and accomplish all of the things she had ever wanted for herself and her daughters. Top of her list: a life-long desire to live in Paris. The seemingly indulgent and even "crazy" aspiration was part of a journey that set her on the path of recovery of health and of spirit. Paris, Part Time is a different kind of love story -- it is an adventurous evolution of self-creation and determination to overcome obstacles and time zones that will take the reader to the streets, cuisine, culture, and matchless beauty of France. From lessons of impermanence to finding the joie de vivre, Paris, Part Time showcases the vulnerability and strength of the human spirit and motherhood, and our desire to transcend setbacks and live our best life, however we define it, whatever our circumstances. Relatable in sentiment, heart-felt, and humorous, Paris, Part Time bounds with the optimism of infinite possibility and gratitude for life itself. Twenty-five recipes and over forty pages of photographs reflecting the author's journey and experiences in France are included.

This definitely an emotionally charged book, exploring various topic such as: love, loss, lust, and grief. This is one of those books that is effortlessly read in one sitting!
This book is in excellent condition, 
no signs of wear 
No folded pages!


Eve is a reluctant mother; Eve is a famous phenomenon; Eve is a quiet country teacher. Liam is a successful artist; Liam is a scheming husband; Liam is a gentle partner. Pari is a leading scientific researcher; Pari is a recognized model; Pari is a picture of declining mental states.

Constellations of Eve weaves together three deviations of one love story. In each variation, the narrative changes slightly, with life-altering impacts. Against a backdrop of difficult people finding their place in a constantly shifting universe, the novel manipulates the variables leading to their fraught romantic entanglements, tearing through a host of lifetimes in search of the one in which all the brightest stars align.

In this philosophical fable of art and fate, Abbigail Nguyen Rosewood paints a world that floats above our own and contours the infinitesimal moments that shape who we love, over whom we obsess, and how we decide what to live for.

Each reality allows Eve another chance at finding her true destiny and personal and professional fulfilment?but can she get it right? Is there even such a thing as right? Constellations of Eve wrestles with the most intimate betrayals and the staggering personal costs of stifling artistic ambition, pursuing it to the exclusion of family, or letting it disperse in favor of an all-consuming love.

Enthralling History

This book is a great addition to any history lovers collection. This book paints a very informative picture of the ancient Sumerian civilization.

How much do you know about the "cradle of civilization?" Come explore the legacy of the brilliant ancient Mesopotamians who transformed the world. Ancient Mesopotamia's legacy was truly revolutionary. Childlike pictures scratched into wet clay evolved into the first written language. The Mesopotamians wrote the first epic poems, the first hymns, the first histories, and the first law codes. They developed the first wheel for transportation; simple carts that hauled bricks or produce morphed into chariots racing along at thirty-five miles per hour. They gazed at the sky and mapped it, observing the planets' retrograde motions and predicting lunar and solar eclipses. They developed the concept of time, measurements, basic counting, higher math, and hydraulic engineering. Mesopotamia gave birth to the world's first great empires-the Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Achaemenids-which stretched over three continents. A glimpse at the questions this overview unpacks includes: How old is the world's first city? How did the Eridu Genesis compare to Noah and the ark? How fast was the world's first postal system? How many times did Babylon's patron god Marduk get stolen? How did Hammurabi's law code compare to the Law of Moses? Who calculated pi (π) to the value of 3.125 and understood the Pythagorean theorem twelve centuries before Pythagoras was born? Did Xerxes really have a million men in his army? Which empire encompassed 44 percent of the world's population? What eunuch poisoned most of the Persian royal family? And much, much more!

Ella F. Washington

An excellent book for anyone interested in how to build a more inclusive culture in the workspace. This book is in great condition inside and out!

Making Real Progress on Equity and Inclusion

"What does a workplace utopia look like to you?" This is the question Dr. Ella F. Washington asks companies, and often she hears about an ideal vision of an organization that values diversity and inclusion and wants employees to bring their whole selves to work. Many organizations desire this ideal vision and know that it's a journey to get there—but still don't know what's required to make the journey. Organizations have largely missed the mark when it comes to creating environments where all employees thrive in an equal and equitable way, because they treat diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a program that gets done rather than the necessary and difficult journey it is. A truly inclusive workplace requires invention and reinvention, mistakes and humility, adaptation to a changing world, constant self-reflection, and sometimes significant sacrifice. The road to an inclusive workplace is a difficult one, but you can traverse it, and there's help along the way. Start here with stories of companies making the necessary journey, including Slack, Kaiser Permanente, and PwC. Hear from their leaders about their successes and failures, times they were on the vanguard, and the moments they realized they had much more work to do. These are profiles in perseverance from people who are keen enough to recognize the need for inclusive workplaces and humble enough to know they're not there yet. Washington brings her years of experience as a DEI leader in multiple industries to give you a frame for thinking about where these companies are on their journey and where you may be, too. Progress is hard-won on the necessary journey to becoming an inclusive organization, but it must be won. John Lewis said it best: "You see something you want to get done, you cannot give up, and you cannot give in."
