Mit ADHS erfolgreich im Beruf

What is ADHD and how do people with ADHD behave? What does this mean for the experiences of those affected, what impact does it have on their access to their abilities, and how does it affect their work life? Based on these questions, the author presents from a scientific perspective, in an easily understandable, well-consumable, and humorous manner, how ADHD impacts work life and what opportunities can arise from a better understanding of this neurological variation. Under certain conditions, ADHD can offer clear advantages in some areas of work. However, possible difficulties in professional life are also addressed, along with concrete, actionable solutions. Readers with and without ADHD will appreciate the special treatment of this important topic as well as the easy applicability of the many practical tips and tricks that stem from numerous studies and the author's extensive experience working with affected individuals, as well as his own ADHD. Adolescents and young adults, along with their parents, will find helpful support to successfully launch into the working world – with, despite, or precisely because of ADHD. For the second edition, the book has been thoroughly revised and expanded, and all illustrations are now in color. New chapters provide further insights from the author's rich repository: the reader will learn how fear and courage go hand in hand with ADHD, how professional relationships can thrive with ADHD, and how a shift in perspective can be beneficial for both employers and employees with ADHD. In recognition of the interest of supervisors and employers who read this book, a table offers a quick overview of the most important professional ADHD situations, their backgrounds, and tips for managing them.
