“Set me on a new career path...”
If you’re a part of the neurodiverse community and spinning your wheels about your career, you NEED this book!
I’ve spent time reading career books, doing
rounds of job searches and interviews, meeting with paid career coaches – with no results.
I had the immense privilege to take Shell’s class and using this book, I was able to zero in on what I need in my work to align my interests, my values and preferences.
This book makes you stop and really think about what YOU want and need. The clarity from Shell’s book gave me the confidence to leave my job and pursue a career in what I really care about.
So grateful to Shell for writing this book. It is such a gift to us folks with ADHD to have careers that keep our minds engaged and spirits high.

“5-Star rating..."
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, international 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.

Although am not diagnosed with ADHD, Unlock Your Career Path has taken me on an enlightening journey that I can’t wait to share with my 21 year old as she moves closer to finding her life’s work.
What I appreciate most is the author’s ability to capture the spirit and joy of navigating the world around you to live ones best life!!!
Kudos Shell Mendelson, I am looking forward to your next course book.

"Life-altering…"
Shell’s book (and accompanying masterclass) are an absolute must for neurodivergent folks struggling with career direction. She makes everything so approachable and the information is easily digestible. I believe that if you read this with an open mind and put in some effort, there’s no way this book/course won’t change your life. There is simply no alternative out there!

“Transformative…"
This book and Shell’s masterclass provided much-needed clarity. After completing both, I feel much more confident and excited about my future. It was nice to have a “career journal” to capture and organize all my thoughts and ideas while taking the course.

“Effective supports process of discovery…"
I was impressed by how much the workbook increased the efficacy of Shell’s process, which helps ADHD individuals understand their preferences, predilections, and personal path when it comes to work and career. Not only did the exercises provide clarification around the topic at hand, but I’ve found myself applying the tools to other parts of my life. I wish I’d been given this as a teenager – I would have made decisions better suited to my particular strengths.

“… a Must Read!
If you’re an ADHDer that needs to earn income, this book is a must read! Shell has such a vast knowledge base and loads of experience in helping people find their career path. This lady has worked her butt off searching and researching, and now brings you decades of knowledge you get to use now to help you thrive at work and beyond. Get this book. You won’t regret it.

“Interactive, motivating, inspiring…"
I’ve worked with Shell for several years as she’s built and taught the virtual version of her “Your Next Career Move MasterClass”. It is a true labor of purpose and love. This book is the next phase in supporting her students, and now many beyond her classes, to work through one of the most important processes any of us can engage in: discovering and living our true purpose and vocation in life. The book is interactive, colorful, motivating and inspiring and I believe will evolve from a tool for exploration to a resource for career expansion to a life treasure, for anyone who does the work and reaps the rewards.
