Think you're either gonna have to say something to your co-workers, who may be unaware they're doing this. Or that it's bothering you. Or speak to your manager. Or, accept this is the case and you don't want too, and hel

Hmmm...The evidence is: he's made one sale. Any person can talk the talk. He's clearly doing things a salesperson shouldn't be. You, a non-salesperson know this. But perhaps he will shine through when the product is released.

I have adhd. I had to go to a course to learn to meditate because I couldn't sit on my own. I've even had Tibeten monks come up to be and say they notice I have problems sitting still. I hate it, makes me want to jump of a cliff s

Just because a person is a "trained clinical psychologist, doesn't mean there is no bias in their work. ALL SCIENTISTS - are aware they will have natural bias whether they like it or not. My point: was that using Barkley to justif

I struggle with meds. I can't visualise things as much - and it fucked up my maths quick thinking. Stops me going as deep 'into the zone' and I can't pattern match. Same with when I'm driving - I can't focus in

You realise Russel Barkley had a brother with adhd who died in a car crash? He's extremely negative about adhd. There has been evidence to suggest greater skills in other areas - the research isn't enough yet as it's only a f

One thing I notice in learning styles - is they don't seem to test retention rate months later. I may be able to cram my brain with crap - but in 2 months time, i'll be able to remember what I can visualise, not what i heard or le
