About this listen
An invaluable resource for couples in which one of the partners suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), this authoritative book guides troubled marriages toward an understanding of and appreciation for the struggles and triumphs of a relationship affected by it and to look at the disorder in a more positive and less disruptive way. Going beyond traditional marriage counseling, this discussion offers advice from the author's personal experience and years of research and identifies patterns of behavior that can hurt marriages - such as nagging, intimacy problems, sudden anger, and memory issues - through the use of vignettes and descriptions of actual couples and their ADHD struggles and solutions. This resource encourages both spouses to become active partners in improving their relationship and healing the fissures that ADHD can cause.

Why are certain people so incredibly great at what they do? Most of us think we know the answer - but we’re almost always wrong. That’s important, because if we’re wrong on this crucial question, then we have zero chance of getting significantly better at anything we care about. Happily, the real source of great performance is no longer a mystery. Bringing together extensive scientific research, best-selling author Geoff Colvin shows where we go wrong and what actually makes world-class performers so remarkable.

When Temple Grandin was born in 1947, autism had only just been named. Today it is more prevalent than ever, with one in 88 children diagnosed on the spectrum. And our thinking about it has undergone a transformation in her lifetime: Autism studies have moved from the realm of psychology to neurology and genetics, and there is far more hope today than ever before thanks to groundbreaking new research into causes and treatments. Now Grandin reports from the forefront of autism science, bringing her singular perspective to a thrilling journey into the heart of the autism revolution.

In Company of One, Jarvis explains how you can find the right pathway to do the same, including planning how to set up your shop, determining your desired revenues, dealing with unexpected crises, keeping your key clients happy, and of course, doing all of this on your own.

Finally - I don’t feel so alone anymore
Finally a book that describes what is going on in my relationship. I would say that 80% of the info here applies to my marriage. I’m the ADHD person and it’s difficult to live with this. Thank you!

MUST READ!!
My husband made his ADD discovery on the Ologies Podcast, I listened thinking it sounds similar, when i heard this book as a recommended read. I jumped in and WOW!!!!!
Gamechanger! I suggested to my partner who was already open to learning more and he couldn't believe what he was hearing. It was a great way to open up the communication to the effects on our relationship. The book described so much of what I was feeling but was challenged in articulating without eliciting a negative reaction. Knowing he loved me, but so many contradictions it was beyond confusing. We are now both understanding each other and loving each other more. Grateful for the audible version, helped expedite the process.

informative and helpful.
Purchased the audio book after watching a webinar by the author. It was like being in The Truman Show. The problems in my relationship were so accurate that it was weird. I knew I had some sort of hyper attention but didn't realize it was a disorder. I have set up a meeting with a psychologist and will see if in am diagnosed with ADHD. After reading this book, I would be surprised if I wasn't. Trying to encompass many of the tips and tricks in my relationship. Will see how it goes.

Great book. Poor narrator choice
This book is filled with great ideas for people with ADD and their partners to improve their relationships. However, for anyone with ADD, listening to the narrator’s soft, monotone voice makes it terribly difficult to listen to without zoning out or becoming distracted. I probably missed half the book due to this, but did get a lot of great ideas on how to improve my marriage.
