"Unlock Your Career Path: A Course for Neurodivergent Adults and Teens" by Shell Mendelson is a highly engaging book. The author takes the reader through a career galaxy of planets, which is a personal roadmap to unraveling one's brain demands based on skills and traits. The planets present simple steps to help one identify which career is exciting, what works, what is unique, and what is important to you.
Shell comprehensively discusses events from childhood, safekeeping self, online search, informational interviews, crafting a compelling vision, and designing their next move. This book aims to help the reader identify a career path that is exciting and satisfying by the end of this exercise.
How can you conduct an informational interview? How do you identify an ideal geographical location that suits you and your career? How do you choose a partner to work with? This book clearly illustrates the answers to these questions. 
I liked this book. It is a highly engaging book. There are exercises in almost all chapters to give the reader a chance to put into practice the author's guidelines. The author narrated several anecdotes to stress their points. Moreover, the author used simple language that all readers can understand. There are no complex words that require a dictionary.
I didn't find anything in this book to make me dislike it. The author explained every concept elaborately and briefly. I didn't encounter grammar errors that could make me not understand any concept.
I give this book a 5 out of 5-star rating. It was professionally and flawlessly edited. I did not see any grammar or typo errors. In addition, this is an important book for neurodivergent adults and teens keen on identifying their careers. I therefore recommend it to neurodivergent adults and teens with ADHD. Unlock Your Career Path: A Course for Neurodivergent Adults and Teens is an interesting book I recommend reading more than once.

I wish this book was around years ago when I had just finished school and was heading to university. Helping adults and teenagers find their career paths is very important. The author takes an interesting approach by likening the intricacies of our brains to planets and galaxies. Thank you for your insightful review.

This is a much needed book. Neuro-divergent people, historically, have had scant resources to help them navigate this world dominated by neurotypical people. Your review points out several strengths in this book: the career galaxy of planets that help the reader create their personal roadmap to finding an appropriate career, simple language that is clear, anecdotes that add emphasis, and exercises to practice the author's guidelines. This book promises to be a refreshing read. I will add it to my bookshelves. :techie-studyinggray:
