From the author of the bestselling Autistic’s Guide to Self-Discovery comes a neuro-affirming guide for those living with or only now recognizing their ADHD, helping them to acknowledge their strengths, embrace their identity, and define success on their own terms.

Millions of adults with ADHD have spent their lives feeling scattered, inconsistent, or “not disciplined enough.” This isn’t because they lack ability or willpower, but because they live in systems that were not designed for the way their brains work. In The ADHDer’s Guide to Self-Discovery, neurodivergent life coach Sol Smith outlines the latest science and research to offer an empathetic and validating exploration of ADHD as a meaningful way of experiencing the world rather than a deficit to overcome.

By reframing ADHD not as a disorder to be managed or optimized away but as a nervous system fundamentally mismatched with modern systems of work, education, and productivity, Smith speaks to adult ADHDers who are exhausted by self-improvement narratives and productivity culture. He helps readers understand why traditional approaches have failed them and how to stop fighting themselves. Instead of offering hacks or routines, the book focuses on identity, helping readers reclaim agency without shame and build lives that work with their brains instead of against them.

Blending lived experience and coaching insight, Smith guides readers to:

• unmask internalized shame, often caused by a lifetime of “failing” to align with cultural norms and being labeled as lazy, a hothead, or the class clown
• redefine success and embrace the creativity, adaptability, curiosity, and deep engagement that often come with ADHD
• understand the common pitfalls of urgency-based motivation, time blindness, burnout potential, and more
• employ practical life-enrichment tactics, such as gamifying work, energy pacing, strategic avoidance, sensory regulation, and building supportive relationships and community

Written for late-diagnosed adults, creatives, students, professionals, therapists, and anyone navigating neurodivergent identity, The ADHDer’s Guide to Self-Discovery speaks to readers who don’t want to be “fixed” but who are searching for a sense of belonging and self-understanding.

A compassionate, science-backed guide to improving sleep in children and teens with ADHD, autism, and other neurodiversities — written by a renowned pediatric sleep expert who is also the parent of a neurodivergent child.

When pediatric sleep expert Melisa Moore realized her son was neurodivergent, she already had a decade of experience helping families navigate sleep issues — but nothing had prepared her for the reality of managing sleep in her own household. The advice she had learned felt too rigid, unrealistic, or simply ineffective for kids like hers. What she needed was a different kind of guide — one that blended evidence-based science with real-life parenting wisdom and offered support without judgment.

The Good Sleep Guide for Neurodivergent Kids is that guide: warm, practical, and rooted in clinical knowledge. Moore brings together her decades of professional experience and research with her personal journey as a mother of a child with ADHD and autism to offer a radically compassionate blueprint for improving sleep in neurodivergent children and teens.

Readers will learn how to:

• identify the unique biological, sensory, and behavioral sleep challenges common in neurodivergent kids
• develop flexible, personalized routines that prioritize consistency and connection over perfection
• use communication strategies that actually work for kids who think and experience the world differently
• assess the pros and cons of medications, supplements, and alternative therapies
• safeguard their own rest and mental health, too

With humor, validation, and true empathy, Moore breaks down the myths of sleep training and redefines “healthy sleep” for neurodiverse families. This is not another set of unrealistic rules or one-size-fits-all solutions. It’s a toolkit for finding what works — for your child, in your life, right now, even if it doesn’t look the way anyone told you it should. As Moore shows, good sleep is possible, and her book will get your family there.

In 1904, a little-known Englishman named James Allen wrote a small book called As a Man Thinketh. A hundred years later, this book has become a self-empowerment classic. New World Library author and publisher Marc Allen updated this timeless gem, recasting obsolete language and polishing the author's message to highlight the universal principles of the original. James Allen's message has now reached a whole new generation of readers with As You Think. Great truths are simple and easy to express, and James Allen's insights into self-empowerment are just that: Personal power lies within the mind. Once awakened, there are no limits to what one can imagine and then achieve with the power of thought. The author shares deep insights into the essential relationship of a person's thoughts to personal character, life circumstances, physical health, life purpose, achievement, and personal serenity. As You Think is a simple yet powerful reminder that "all we achieve and all that we fail to achieve is the direct result of our own thoughts." We are the masters of our destinies.

Virtually everyone fears mental deterioration as they age. But in the past thirty years neuroscientists have discovered that the brain is actually designed to improve throughout life. How can you encourage this improvement? Brain Power shares practical, state-of-the-evidence answers in this inspiring, fun-to-read plan for action. The authors have interviewed physicians, gerontologists, and neuroscientists; studied the habits of men and women who epitomize healthy aging; and applied what they describe in their own lives. The resulting guidance — along with the accompanying downloadable Brain Sync audio program — can help you activate unused brain areas, tone mental muscles, and enliven every faculty.

In this revised editon, Roth expands on the themes that have guided her: ways of transforming daily life into sacred art.

Allen's "Visionary Business" revealed the 12 keys to building a successful organization. In this book, he turns his attention to the even more vital process of building a fulfilling life.

Over the past decade, 24-7 connectivity has given us not only convenience and fun but worries about privacy, intrusions into family time, and new compulsions — from shopping to tweeting and cute cat watching. Anne Katherine, one of the first authors to bring healthy boundary setting to a mass audience, has now written a book on how to do this with technology. Rather than rejecting online life, Katherine shows readers how to make social media, smartphones, and other innovations work for, rather than against, them. Readers learn to protect themselves online — from predators and data mining as well as from time-devouring friends and acquaintances — with an emphasis on preserving and optimizing meaningful personal connections. Anyone who has ever wondered if their cute little gadget was actually an enemy invader will welcome Katherine’s strategies for ensuring that “your life is truly your own.”

Newly updated, revised, and redesigned, this popular workbook companion to Gawain's phenomenally successful guide to personal growth and fulfillment offers readers hands-on methods for designing and implementing a completely individualized blueprint for positive change.

Beat Depression and Improve Your Relationships

When it comes to treatment for depression, we have been getting it all wrong. Instead of focusing on just the biochemistry, we need to focus on the importance of relationships. Feeling Better offers a step-by-step guide using a research-proven approach called interpersonal psychotherapy, or IPT, which can help you deal with the issues that may be contributing to your unhappiness. Therapists Cindy Stulberg and Ron Frey have used IPT with clients for more than twenty years and achieved dramatic, lasting results after only eight to twelve weeks. They have now created this accessible, first-of-its kind guide. Feeling Better teaches skills and tools that will allow you to set and achieve goals, articulate feelings, and make constructive decisions. You’ll learn to identify and engage with allies and supporters, deal with difficult people, and, if need be, walk away from harmful relationships.

Cindy and Ron have taught clients — diagnosed with depression or not — to use these skills in virtually every life situation, from preventing divorce to “consciously uncoupling,” raising healthy children, coping with loss, and dealing with addiction. Writing with wisdom, warmth, and humor, they are savvy coaches and inspiring cheerleaders who can offer a lifeline to the depressed and life enrichment to anyone.

Explore the many facets of our most valued emotion

Cardiologist and professor Armin Zadeh revisits psychologist Erich Fromm’s The Art of Loving, a book that has fascinated him for decades. The Forgotten Art of Love examines love in its complex entirety — through the lenses of biology, philosophy, history, religion, sociology, and economics — to fill in critical voids in Fromm’s classic work and to provide a contemporary understanding of love. This unique and wide-ranging book looks at love’s crucial role in every aspect of human existence, exploring what love has to do with sex, spirituality, society, and the meaning of life; different kinds of love (for our children, for our neighbors); and whether love is a matter of luck or an art that can be mastered. Dr. Zadeh provides a fascinating, empowering guide to enhancing relationships and happiness — concluding with a provocative vision for firmly anchoring love in our society.

A simple, human solution for loneliness and depression

When Dr. Dixon Chibanda lost a patient to suicide, he began a soul-searching journey that eventually led to a mental healthcare revolution. As one of only six psychiatrists in all of Zimbabwe, a country traumatized by decades of conflict, Chibanda quickly realized that millions there were suffering from mental illness with no hope of receiving care. He saw that the only way to narrow this care gap was to leverage existing resources in the community, and one such resource was the compassion and understanding of grandmothers. With fourteen of these wise elders as partners, Chibanda pioneered the Friendship Bench program, a community-driven initiative addressing loneliness, depression, substance abuse, and suicide by fostering intergenerational connectedness. Since then, more than 500,000 people worldwide have sat on a park bench to share their personal stories with an empathetic grandmother.

A primer on how human connection forms the bedrock of our resilience, The Friendship Bench gives readers the tools to facilitate transformative healing by reaching out to those who are struggling and isolated from the world around them. It’s a case study of how interventions supported by robust scientific evidence can be made accessible for all. Ultimately, it’s a celebration of the collective wisdom and knowledge of those rooted in their communities and their profound ability to foster belonging, purpose, and healing.
