Got one of the newest ADD books, by Hallowell and Ratey (they're sorta the gold standard on ADD books, they wrote Driven to Distraction, the first ADD book written for the public). It's called Delivered from Distraction. It's written in a slightly more humorous tone than in the past, and that's fine with me. I also like that they write books that aren't "dumbed down." Lots of ADD people have trouble reading, either from dyslexia or inability to focus, so books written for them have large type or a less complicated vocabulary. Grrr. I'm not stupid.

In any case, what everybody seems to emphasize over and over, is finding something you're good at and pursuing it. Not just because you'll be more likely to find a career you can stick with, but because if you've failed at things in life over and over, it's a huge self-esteem boost to be good at something.

I am notoriously bad at self-awareness (yeay, another typical ADD thing). So I'm asking you people:

WTF am I good at?

It doesn't have to be something that I could necessarily be paid to do.

Totally random: Someone is performing Personal Jesus on TV right now, on Fox. I don't know what Depeche Mode looks like, so I have no idea if that's who I'm looking at.
