Beschreibung

A groundbreaking, practical guide to accomplishing your goals and thriving in life, written for people with ADHD, autism, trauma and/or anxiety.
Have you ever looked at your to-do list and felt completely paralysed?
Even the smallest task like sending an email feels insurmountable.
And the more you think about, the more impossible all of it now seems.
You might not know it as such, but this is your 'Wall of Awful'. Just like bricks, negative emotions and experiences can build up until they feel like an impenetrable wall between us and our goals. More importantly, say hello to your guide on how to overcome your Wall from someone who has spent a lifetime overcoming theirs.
Brendan Mahan (MEd., MS.), diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, has made it his life's work to help people accomplish their biggest, scariest ambitions. Together with writer Alex Hughes Capell, they present the comprehensive model on:

- How anxiety works and why it gets in the way ----
- Ways people try to get past the Wall that don't work-and what does ----
- How to climb your Wall of Awful and take back control --------


Learn how to identify key emotions, the bricks in your Wall. Then, learn the tricks, systems, and habits you'll need to not just climb one Wall-but to overcome your blocks throughout your life, one step at a time.
The Wall is real, but you are stronger than you know.
