Description
Bestselling author Leonard Felder, PhD, has written the first book with advice on how to be successful personally and professionally when you think differently, live differently, create differently, or solve problems differently than those around you. This wise and perceptive guide is neither about withdrawing into isolation and passivity, nor about spending every waking hour battling with others. Rather, it's about choosing wisely when to speak your truth and saying it in a way that gets positive results. Dr. Felder shows how unique individuals can survive and thrive in situations that used to make them shut down or retreat. He provides actual examples, precise techniques, useful answers and a soothing balm for everyone who heard too often during adolescence or young adulthood that 'you just don't fit in' - and for the ones who love and counsel them, too.
