This week, we talk to John Ruhlin. He’s written an amazing book called Giftology, and the whole premise is on the concept of gift-giving. Why is this ADHD-related? Well, by nature, faster than normal people like us tend to be very giving. We like helping, we want people to like us. How do we do it, though, in such a way where we don’t come across as trying too hard? I know for me personally, it’s not always easy. That’s why I’m a huge fan here of John’s new book, and his whole philosophy. I think you will be, too. Enjoy!
