A Technicolor ADHD Mind with Dr. Jeffrey L Gurian

In today's episode I had the honor of speaking with the one and only Dr. Jeffrey Gurian (www.comedymatterstv.com). Dr. Gurian is an ADHD "doer." He shares his brilliant technicolor journey as a physician, award winning comedy writer, best selling author, and mental health advocate. 

Dr. Gurian is the perfect example of what is possible when an ADHD'er sees their omnipotential underneath the noise of a very brilliant, albeit very noisy ADHD mind.

About Dr. Jeffrey Gurian:

I’m one of the only doctors ( and ADHD sufferers) with a long-standing career in the comedy world. Spent 20 years on the Board of The Association for Spirituality and Psychotherapy, 12 years at NYU as a Clinical Prof. in Oral Medicine and Oro-Facial Pain, and 25 years in practice as a Cosmetic Dentist. When I was tested for ADHD the doctor said to me that I must have had to work 10 times as hard as everyone else, which was true. However I managed to graduate at the top half of my class, #54 out of 126 students. I face tremendous confusion and fears but never let them stop me, which is what inspired me to write my Happiness Series of books. I have 8 books now. Five on comedy (one with Chris Rock), and 3 on Happiness, mindset and changing negative thinking to positive thinking.
