We live in a highly over-stimulating world. Daily life places enormous demands on us to process and respond to information. It is no wonder that ADHD is such a rapidly growing diagnosis-with children and adults of all ages coping with the disruptive forgetfulness, frustration, and organizational issues of this modern-day epidemic. For many patients with attention deficit disorder, medication is considered the remedy of choice. But what if you had the power to cope with the symptoms of ADHD more effectively? What if all it required was a selection of mental exercises along with your own motivation and effort? Drawing upon decades of experience as a board-certified psychologist, Michael R. Slavit, PhD, knows that the ability to train your mind is real-and through the twenty unique exercises in Train Your Wandering Mind, he is here to show you how. Whether you are dealing with adult attention deficit disorder yourself, or parenting a child with ADHD, this book will help. It is filled with expert advice and specific exercises that will help patients change their perceptions, thoughts, and behaviors in order to achieve more organized and successful lives.

On January, 2016, Dave Reitze the Director of the Laser Interferometric Gravity Wave Observatory (LIGO) called Michael Smith at home...did he want to be included as a co-author on the historic scientific paper that was about to be announced and published in Physical Review Letters; GW151226: "Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger?"OH, MY GOD WE DID IT The gravity wave signals were detected on September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC-first at Livingston, LA, and 7 milliseconds later at Hanford, WA, within the speed of light travel time between the two sites. The LIGO detectors heard the last one-half second of a primordial song, 1.2 billion years ago This remarkable event provided the first direct proof of Einstein's theory of general relativity, and his prediction of gravity waves emitted from the merger of two black holes, each one approximately 30 times more massive than our own sun.This memoir is about a seventeen-year odyssey that began in 1996, when Michael Smith joined the Laser Interferometer Gravity Wave Observatory (LIGO) design team at Caltech. This book will take you through the inner workings of a complex scientific development project funded by the National Science Foundation-seen through his struggles, tribulations, and joys as he prevailed in the emotional and technical challenges of creating something never undertaken before. He was one of those thousand little turtles at the bottom of the pond who designed and built the LIGO detectors at the two sites-Livingston, LA, and Hanford, WA, and who held up the three luminaries-Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Barry Barish-on their backs atop the LIGO pyramid, rising higher than the sun and basking in the glory of their Nobel Prize 2017 in Physics...and unlike the Dr. Seuss story, "Yertle the Turtle," he didn't burp This is also the story of an ongoing love affair with Frances Mayes' Tuscany, Brunello di Montalcino wine, and the lovely Rainbow Face who would finally marry Michael.
