    A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention...

    Rebecca Schiller

    It should have been Rebecca Schiller's dream come true: moving her young family to the English countryside to raise goats and coax their own fruit and vegetables from the land. But, as she writes: The summer of striding out toward a life of open fields and sacks of corn, I brought a confused black hole of something pernicious but not yet acknowledged along for the ride. 
     
     
     
    Rebecca's health begins to crumble, with bewildering symptoms: frequent falls, uncontrollable rages, and mysterious lapses in memory. As she fights to be seen by specialists, her fledgling homestead—and her family—hang by increasingly tenuous threads. And when her diagnosis finally comes, it is utterly unexpected: severe ADHD. 
     
     
     
    In her scramble for answers, Rebecca's consciousness alternately sears with pinpoint focus and spirals with connections. Childhood memories resurface with new meaning, and her daily life entwines with the history of women who tended this land before her. Her family weathers their growing pains where generations of acorns have fallen to rise again as trees, where ancient wolves and lynx once stalked the shadows. Written in unsparing, luminous prose, this is an all-absorbing memoir of one woman's newfound neurodivergence—and a clarion call to overturn the narrative that says minds are either normal and good or different and broken.

    A Guide to Making Decisions, Then Changing Your Mind 47 Times 
    🚨 WARNING: This is NOT a book for decisive people. If you know what you want in life and confidently make choices without having a full-blown existential meltdown, please move along. 
    This book is for overthinkers, procrastinators, and chronically indecisive disasters who would rather launch themselves into the sun than commit to literally anything. If you’ve ever: 
    ✔️ Spent an hour picking a movie, only to give up and rewatch The Office. 
    ✔️ Polled multiple friends about a minor decision, then ignored their advice. 
    ✔️ Stared at a restaurant menu like it was a life-or-death situation. 
    ✔️ Regretted a choice the second you made it. 
    ✔️ Overanalyzed a text message for so long that you never sent it. 
    Congratulations—you have Decision Paralysis, and this book will make you feel seen. 
    Inside, you’ll find absolutely zero useful strategies for overcoming indecision, but you will get: 
    A breakdown of why your brain refuses to let you make choices like a normal person. 
    An in-depth look at why picking a dinner spot with friends always ends in silent rage. 
    A highly scientific decision-making flowchart (spoiler: you still won’t pick anything). 
    A chance to laugh at your own dysfunction instead of actually fixing it. 
    So, should you buy this book? 
    🤔 Yes. 
    🤔 No. 
    🤔 Maybe. 
    🤔 Let me think about it first. 
    (You’ll probably just add it to your cart and stare at it for six weeks, but hey—at least that’s on brand.)
