Boredom and boredom avoidance drive the behaviours of inattention,
impulsivity, and hyperactivity - the diagnostic criteria of ADHD.
This is the first ADHD resource to thoroughly explore the
connection between the two. Full of innovative approaches, the book
introduces a wide range of strategies for professionals working in
clinical, educational and therapeutic settings to help those with
ADHD beat boredom and engage with tasks and goals they want or need
to achieve. Approaches specifically designed for toddlers,
children, teenagers and adults are included, which can then be
incorporated into schoolwork, jobs, relationships and everyday
life. This practical resource will provide professionals who
diagnose, treat, coach, and teach those with ADHD or those who
suffer from frequent or pervasive boredom, with the tools to
alleviate boredom in order to improve both concentration and mood.
Absolutely chronicles the quirky life of Dr. Harry Briggs, WWII
Marine, the first person to swim the 32 miles across Lake Erie,
persistent entrepreneur, and, at 90 years old, still a political
science professor. About this amazingly candid tale, John Muenzer,
Marathon Swimmer, says: "I laughed and cried as I read his story.
Harry's journey starts with his rambunctious years in his mid 20's
to the Pacific Theater, Swimming Hall of Fame, numerous businesses,
educator and loving husband. No matter what obstacles Dr. Briggs
faced, he willed himself to never accept failure. Truly a unique
individual and one that's accomplished a great deal in his
lifetime!" Frank Cox, Marine veteran and award-winning author says,
"Letitia Sweitzer has skillfully captured the dramatic life saga of
her uncle, Harry Briggs, an athlete and an intellectual, who has
packed three lifetimes of adventure into his 90 years. Absolutely!
is an inspiring, thoroughly enjoyable, story about the can-do
spirit of an American hero."
