Great story incorporating theory of constraints training. Most books of this type don't start at the ground floor so are fairly useless. This one will help any organization at any level.

I recommend to all my coworkers.

Enjoyed reading this book. It bounces back and forth between the aurthor's personal story and the history of ADHA.

timothy Denevi's personal story is a fun read. The history part of it was very interesting, from actually diagnosing ADHD and how treatment had changed.

I agree with most of what the author says. Chemicals alone are not the answer. Therapy must be a large part of the treatment. There is no cookie cutter approach. Each child will have to find their own path. Keep trying until you find what works and sometimes, what works one time, doesn't work the next.

I received this book as a giveaway. Wonderful story which keeps you interested all the way to the end. Polarity is the contest between chaos and stability. When a person attains full Polarity, they are able to see the past of anyone the focus on and are also able to see various outcomes for the future. The two different factions try to influence people and situations to better suit their nature.
Susie is a frugal college student who becomes a person of interest to the two rival clairvoyant factions. Dan meets Susie and has to protect her. As Susie begins to fall in love with Dan, she notices too many lucky coincidences happen with she is with him. Dan spills the beans about Polarity and Susie struggles with acceptance.
A very good read with a left turn at the end. No, let me correct that. It is a U-turn at the end.

What an enjoyable read. Two main characters (three is you count the Lizard King) who started as friends and ended more as enemies. The Chupacabra befriends a boy Tomas when his Queen and unboarn child are killed. Together they plot revenge on a reporter who wronged them both.

From a small town in Mexico to the big city of New York and back again. Lots of action with a few killings thrown in to move the story along.

This was a fun read. The characters are very likable. Thorn hires India to decorate his newly purchased mansion in order to impress the family of the lady he want to wed. Thorn and India become friends. Not friends as I know the term as my wife would skin me if I kissed my friends.

The love between the two grows but neither of them seem to know it. Throw in a couple of other characters into the mix to keep everyone off kilter adds some interest. Thorn must revert to his oldest profession to prove his love.
