Jeanette, host of Excuse My ADHD, says she is taken aback by how little the public, and even professionals, seem to know about ADHD. She says the DSM lists something like 90 symptoms, but the image people carry is a little boy who cannot sit still or stop talking. That was her image too, until her husband said he thought she had it. She could sit in her room and read from morning to night, which she later understood as hyperfocus. Rather than recite a definition, she tells her own symptoms, including reading all eight Outlander books in two months and diving into sewing until the excitement wore off.

Frank Caprio says his first day on the bench set the tone of a judgeship of over 30 years. From then on, he took everybody's personal situation into consideration when he imposed a sentence. He tried to find out what was really going on with the person, and he considered how a ruling would impact that person and the whole family.

Caprio got elected, put on the robe, and felt he had arrived. His father came to watch. A woman stood before him with a boot on her car. She owed a couple hundred dollars in tickets she could not pay, and she had four kids to get to school. Caprio would not take the boot off unless she paid. He continued the case and gave her a couple of days. After court, his fath

The price was not raised after a marketing test. It started at 25 and was left at 25 because that was how much people would pay to see the stand up. The subscription stayed at the same number instead of moving through different prices.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had the test ready fairly early, but as those test kits were deployed to all the 50 states, it was soon discovered those tests were delivering inconclusive results. They had to re-develop the test and send new ones.

More on this from another source " The CDC struggle to roll out the test. "

Robert Greene says humans are sublime because they can uncover what is not human. Reading the paper, he hit a claim that intelligent life on Earth took almost 4 billion years, which is why other intelligent life would be so hard to meet, and that some longer-lived planets might have it. He could not recall the details. A second piece, on a bird fossil from the dinosaur era found in China and on flying reptiles that were not dinosaurs, hit him the same way. Science, he says, can change how a person looks at life by showing how close the experiment came to never happening.

He does not treat humans as something to escape. Science, as he describes it, is hundreds of thousands of papers by peopl

Bruce Reed says parents should be able to turn off memory so that every time a kid went on an AI platform, it was starting from scratch. Turning memory off would even the score quite a bit for the kid's experience.

Grown-ups have to step up and pass laws to make AI safer and make social media safer or at least less present. Work is already underway to pass limits on AI companions and to strengthen parental control, so parents have more agency to figure out what the AI experience is like for their kids. Eventually, independent safety audits are needed to make sure the programs are safe before they go on the market. People working in the classroom should teach digital literacy. Kids may be mo

If you have to get through the challenging times, you can do it in a way that is transparent and respectful.

Explain the situation you are in, the cash flow, the challenges, and give your team a way to communicate back and voice their opinions. If you have to let people go, do it with compassion, with openness and transparency.

People might still not like what they hear, but at the very least, you will build trust, and it will make a profound difference for the long run.

Spencer Greenberg says cognitive restructuring is learning to change the thoughts a person has over time. A person often cannot change the first thought. A person can often change the second thought, the response thought, and Greenberg says the change can make a tremendous difference.

In the example of fighting with a girlfriend a lot, she asks why the dishes were left in the sink. The first thought is wanting to do things one's own way and feel comfortable at home. A person is not necessarily in control of that thought, then asks whether it is the most helpful thought right now. The next step is a more helpful thought that is at least as true, without self-delusion. Greenberg offers that t

The best organizations reward not just outstanding individual contributors, but people who also contribute to the organization as a whole, to the team, to shared goals and values.

There are, of course, a lot of takers who are good fakers - people who will pretend to contribute to organization but really want everything for themselves.

To avoid being taken advantage of by them, you should build boundaries and learn to say No, as well as to cultivate your own value which you want to protect from others.
