Wir "wollen" und dieses Wollen wird unter Schmerzen und mit Gewalt erreicht. Gibt es nicht auch einen anderen Weg zur Zufriedenheit? Akzeptanz der Dinge: Unser Geist verdreht die Realität, um sie seinen Vorstellungen anzupassen. In der Tat akzeptieren w

ADD-FRIENDLY Ways To ORGANIZE Your Life
by Kathleen Nadeau Judith KolbergOrganizing books fall short of addressing the unique needs of adults with ADD. They fail to understand the clinical picture of ADD and how it impacts the organizing process, often making their advice irrelevant or frustrating when put into practice. Books about ADD may address organization/disorganization but do so in a cursory fashion and on a very small scale. This is a book that has ADD-Friendly advice with the ADD-er in mind. This collaboration brings forth the best underlying understanding with the most effective and practical remedy from ADD experts in two important fields-professional organization and clinical psychology. Finally, it offers organizing advice that ranges from self-help to utilizing the help of non-professionals, to using professional assistance. Thus it permits the listener to decide where they are personally in the organizing process, and what level of support will be most beneficial to their unique situation.
