Martha’s brand new book The ADD Myth: How to Cultivate the Gifts of Intense Personalities with a foreword by Dr. Alan Francis, addresses the misunderstandings about ADHD and how to harness the full potential of intensity with maximum success.

Martha Burge, M.A. is a certified personal and professional coach specializing in gifted and creative people, adults diagnosed with ADHD and parents of children with ADHD and many other diagnoses of mental disorder. Many years ago she simply refused to agree that her children were disordered.  A couple of college degrees, a coaching certification, and many clients later, she now knows why. And she’s out to tell the rest of us all about it in her recently released book, “The ADD Myth: How to Cultivate the Unique Gifts of Intense Personalities,” which earned her recognition by the Messenger Network as the next top self-help author.  Her radically different approach focuses on the whole person, rather than a limited list of symptoms.
