Download or read book I ll Just Be Five More Minutes written by Emily Farris and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hilariously-honest, heartwarming essay collection about life, love, and discovering you have ADHD at age 35 Despite being a published writer with a family, a gaggle of internet fans, and (most shockingly) a mortgage, Emily Farris could never get her sh*t together. As she saw it, disorganization was one of her countless character flaws—that is until she was diagnosed with ADHD at age 35. Like many girls who go undiagnosed, Emily grew up internalizing criticisms about her impulsivity and lack of follow-through. She held onto that shame as she tried (and often failed) to fit into a world designed for neurotypical brains. I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is a personal essay collection of laugh-out-loud-funny, tear-jerking, and at times cringey true stories of Emily's experiences as a neurodivergent woman. With the newfound knowledge of her ADHD, Emily candidly reexamines her complicated relationships (including one with a celebrity stalker), her money problems, the years she spent unknowingly self-medicating, and her hyperfixations (two words: decorative baskets). A memoir-in-essays both entertaining and enlightening, I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is for people with ADHD, as well as those who know and love them. This is a powerful collection of deeply relatable, wide-ranging stories about a woman's right to control her own body, about overwhelm and oversharing, about drinking too much and sleeping too little, and about being misunderstood by the people closest to you. At its heart, I’ll Just Be Five More Minutes is about not quite fitting in and not really understanding why—something we’ve all felt whether we're neurodivergent or not.

Once again it’s up to the rabbi to draw on his deductive skills to solve the case—and avoid getting sucked into the bitter culture war—before the killer strikes again.

Download or read book Falling in Love with Work written by Denice Kronau and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us fantasize about what it would be like to walk away from work. Denice Kronau did it. On the surface, Denice had it all: a great job as CEO of a $100 million company, offices in thirty countries, and travel around the world. However, her great job was killing her because she couldn't keep work in perspective. She let it take over her life and was exhausted, overworked, overweight, and endlessly running on a hamster wheel. When it became too much, she took an unpaid sabbatical and spent months regaining a sense of balance in her life. She explored what drove her to work in such a destructive way and discovered many insights about work. More importantly, she found what made her happy at work. In Falling in Love with Work, Denice shares many of these key elements, such as: We're human beings, not human "doings." Don't feed the urgent while starving the important. It's perfectly fine to "Find out what you don't do well, and don't do it" (to quote Alf, the 1980s TV character). Be happy, now. Don't postpone happiness while waiting for a one-time event. About the Author Denice Kronau is a veteran of corporate life. During her thirty-year career she has held positions of chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and chief diversity officer. She has worked for notable global companies such as Altria, Diageo PLC, and Siemens AG.
