The ADHD Advantage

What You Thought Was a Diagnosis May Be Your Greatest Strength

By: Dale Archer

Narrated by: Walter Dixon

Here's why ADHD could be the key to your success.

For decades physicians delivered the diagnosis of ADHD to patients as bad news and warned them about a lifelong struggle of managing symptoms. But The ADHD Advantage explodes this outlook, showing that some of the most highly successful entrepreneurs, leaders, and entertainers have reached the pinnacle of success not in spite of their ADHD but because of it.

Although the ADHD stereotype is someone who can't sit still, in reality people with ADHD are endlessly curious, often adventurous, willing to take smart risks, and unusually resilient. They are creative, visionary, and entrepreneurial. Sharing the stories of highly successful people with ADHD, Dr. Archer offers a vitally important and inspiring new way to recognize ADHD traits in oneself or in one's loved ones, and then leverage them to great advantage - without drugs.

As someone who not only has ADHD himself but also has never used medication to treat it, Dr. Archer understands the condition from a unique standpoint. Armed with new science and research, he hopes to generate public interest and even debate with his positive message as he guides the millions of people with ADHD worldwide toward a whole new appreciation of their many strengths and full innate potential.

Wow!!! what a tool kit this book offers.

You want to get an understanding of ADHD. This book will help you find hidden keys of ADHD, that will unlock your stuck life. It truly helped me understand my self, my struggle's and my potential.
There are so many things I wish I knew 9 years ago when I found out I had it.

Encouraging.

Found this book to be very encouraging. It helps to make your adhd traits a strength and not a weakness.

Great tool!

Great for adults and kids who have yet to harness their ADHD strengths. Also a great tool for understanding those who have these challenges. The book provides inspiration and hope.

Great for morale, lacking in treatment

I liked the book, and framing ADHD as a strength certainly helps one feel better about having the diagnosis, but I think there needs to be a little more of a balanced perspective. This book presents ADHD as being totally a good thing, which odds great for morale, but I wanted to hear a little bit more about the areas that would give me trouble and why I would have a hard time in them, and what I could do to make things easier on myself. But if you just need a way to reframe your situation (and many people do), this book is great!

Squirrel!

insightful and enlightening. I found myself wondering who wrote this book about me, or so it seemed. Might be a good listen for parents of ADHDers as well.
