ABSTRACT
T aking charge means becoming an actor rather than a reactor. What is an actor? An actor is someone who sets a course for him-or her-
self rather than staying in a reactive mode. Many people with ADD have lived their entire lives in a reactive mode, responding to whatever random opportunity or event comes their way. The most important mes-
sage of this book is that to take charge of your ADD, of your career, and of your life, you need to develop the attitude and skills of an actor.
