He confirmed that most TSS victims are distant, detached, and distracted and suffer from a form of ADDattention deficit disorder. People who experience Sweet Successan almost constant state of delight in their love, work and playare able to direct their attention and stay in the now, being the center of swirling activity without getting fragmented. Its being pulled through life, not pushed; going with the flow instead of fighting the current; being responsive rather than driven. Pearsalls detoxification program has helped many TSS patients to sweeten it up by changing their mindset and taking back their attention, focusing on what they need not what they want. Toxic Success is this celebrated authors most important book to date.
