Square Peg, Round Hole - The Colorful, Unconventional Life of a Man with Untreated Attention Deficit Disorder - Nicholas R. D'Arecca

There is another way, indeed many other ways, to be your authentic self and to live a life of meaning, purpose and satisfaction.
Each page or section is filled with informative, entertaining and often humorous stories, as well as insightful critical reflection, which will catch and hold your attention,
"A tour de force!" Nick D'Arecca has written the best extended case study I know of what it's like to live a life of untreated Attention Deficit Disorder. (ADD)" I wish I had a patient who approaches their lives with such total honesty and critical self reflection - even though he doesn't want to change! Deeply spiritual but grounded in practical experience and (un) common sense. I will recommend it to my patients, friends and colleagues."
