⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader Review

More than two decades ago, world-renowned authors Dr Edward M. Hallowell and Dr John J. Ratey literally wrote the book on ADHD. Their groundbreaking bestseller Driven to Distraction introduced millions of readers to the condition and has sold more than a million copies worldwide.

Today, ADHD is widely recognised, but one important part of the conversation is often overlooked: its potential strengths. Many highly successful entrepreneurs, innovators and creative thinkers attribute their achievements to the unique traits associated with ADHD. At the same time, new scientific discoveries are transforming our understanding of how the ADHD brain works.

In ADHD 2.0, Drs Hallowell and Ratey-both of whom live with what they call a "variable attention trait"-draw on the latest research to help adults, parents and caregivers minimise the challenges of ADHD while maximising its advantages at any age.

Inside, you'll discover an arsenal of new strategies and lifestyle hacks for thriving with ADHD, including:

• 
  
• Find the right kind of difficult - use these behaviour assessments to discover the work, activity, or creative outlet best suited to an individual's unique strengths.
• 
  
• Reimagine your environment - what specific elements to look for - at home, at school, or in the workplace - to enhance the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit inherent in the ADHD mind.
• 
  
• Embrace your brain's natural wiring - take advantage of new findings about the brain's default mode network and cerebellum, which confer major benefits for people with ADHD
• 
  
• Harness the healing power of connection - tips for establishing and maintaining positive connection, 'the other Vitamind C', and the best antidote to the negativity that plagues so many people with ADHD.
• 
  
• Make informed decisions about medication - get the facts about the underlying chemistry, side effects, and proven benefits of all the pharmaceutical options.
• 
  

Filled with professional expertise, personal experience and optimism, ADHD 2.0 offers a powerful new approach to understanding ADHD and unlocking the potential that lies within it.
