Oh my goodness! Are you following me?
I swear this man has been following me around and scanned my brain! Nearly every page of this book was a story or example of something that I have done, was told I do, or struggle with. I literally said, "That's me" dozens of times.
If you have every wondered why you can't do the same things as everyone else around you, I urge you to read this book.
You are not alone!
