  The runaway bestseller that's a must-have for every parent and teacher. How many authors would travel coast to coast on a bus to get their book into as many hands as possible? Not many. But that's just what Ron Clark, author of The Essential 55, did to keep his book and message in the public eye. And it worked. After his Oprah appearance, sales skyrocketed: we've sold more than 850,000 copies in six months! The book sat tenaciously on the New York Times bestseller list for 11 weeks. Ron Clark was featured on the Today show, and in the Chicago Tribune, Good Housekeeping, and the New York Daily News--not to mention the calls we've received from teachers and parents who want to get their hands on Ron's guidelines for teaching children.The Essential 55 will be the perfect book for parents and teachers to slip into their own backpacks, to read on the train or at lunch, and to highlight the sections that resonate for them. And with an author who is truly a partner in getting his message to the masses, we just can't lose.

  Spark - Write a short book with...

  When I sat down with my then-8-year old on the red chair in early March of 2014, having just read a pretty boring children's book and said, "Wow, that book was pretty bad." I then immediately followed up with, "We can do better than that." My son looked at me like I was crazy (I was) and challenged me to follow through on my dare (I did). 
  Within a month, we had a book published.  
  Now we can boast almost all of the list below:  
  1.) We have sold 1,000,000+ books in 89 countries and 7 languages.  
  2.) We sometimes had to resort to bribery, coercion, and ice cream to get a chapter done.  
  3.) Just on royalties alone, Li is eyeing a Maserati for his 16th birthday.  
  4.) We created something from nothing and no one can ever take that away.  
  5.) We get regular calls from Hollywood producers about making the movie versions.  
  6.) We broke all of Audible's rules when we recorded the audiobook version--and got rejected.  
  7.) Both boys have transformed into perfect angels who study Mandarin in their free time after violin lessons and before their volunteer work for global literacy.  
  8.) I have a audio proof of my 10-year old narrating Chapter 8 that I can use at his wedding to embarrass him beyond his wildest nightmares and I can bring that up whenever I like to remind my boys that we are a family who shares experiences (and it's good for blackmail).  
  9.) We did it all right.  
  10.) We did it all wrong.  
  11.) We did it. Period.  
  OK, so maybe it's every other item on the list. 
  The big secret? Take the list above and choose which one you like.  
  This book is going to help you create a bond with your kids. 
  The only thing you have to do is be the spark.

  Beyond ADHD weaves Jeff Emmerson's personal story of his ADHD diagnosis, exploring along the way the latest medical, scientific, and societal explanations and tools for managing and living with the condition. Including interviews with a number of experts at the forefront of next-generation ADHD diagnostics and treatment, he questions the cookie-cutter way ADHD is commonly diagnosed and treated. Suggesting that the list of symptoms often used to identify ADHD can be attributed to many other disorders and conditions, he explores how and why ADHD diagnoses have increased by 50% in the last ten years.Emmerson advocates a different approach to ADHD, arguing that it should be a diagnosis of exclusion rather than the other way around, and that we must look past the label, recognizing that individual symptoms vary and treatment plans should be better tailored to the individual. He examines mental and behavioral issues from all sides, including the possibility that nurturing—rather than trying to alter or suppress—the active, "360-degree" mind is a viable way for those diagnosed with ADHD to realize their gifts and lead purposeful lives.
