ADHD 2.0

New Science and Essential Strategies for Thriving with Distraction - from Childhood Through Adulthood

De: Edward M. Hallowell M.D., John J. Ratey M.D.

Narrado por: Fred Sanders

A revolutionary new approach to ADD/ADHD featuring cutting-edge research and strategies to help listeners thrive, by the best-selling authors of the seminal books Driven to Distraction and Delivered from Distraction

“An inspired road map for living with a distractible brain . . . If you or your child suffer from ADHD, this book should be on your shelf. It will give you courage and hope.” (Michael Thompson, PhD, New York Times best-selling co-author of Raising Cai)

World-renowned authors Dr. Edward M. Hallowell and Dr. John J. Ratey literally “wrote the book” on ADD/ADHD more than two decades ago. Their best seller, Driven to Distraction, largely introduced this diagnosis to the public and sold more than a million copies along the way.

Now, most people have heard of ADHD and know someone who may have it. But lost in the discussion of both childhood and adult diagnosis of ADHD is the potential upside: Many hugely successful entrepreneurs and highly creative people attribute their achievements to ADHD. Also unknown to most are the recent research developments, including innovations that give a clearer understanding of the ADHD brain in action. In ADHD 2.0, Drs. Hallowell and Ratey, both of whom have this “variable attention trait”, draw on the latest science to provide both parents and adults with ADHD a plan for minimizing the downside and maximizing the benefits of ADHD at any age. They offer an arsenal of new strategies and lifestyle hacks for thriving with ADHD, including

• Find the right kind of difficult. Use these behavior assessments to discover the work, activity, or creative outlet best suited to an individual’s unique strengths.
• Reimagine 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 innate neurological tendencies. Take advantage of new findings about the brain’s default mode network and cerebellum, which confer major benefits for people with ADHD.
• Tap into 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.
• Consider medication. Gets the facts about the underlying chemistry, side effects, and proven benefits of all the pharmaceutical options.

As inspiring as it is practical, ADHD 2.0 will help you tap into the power of this mercurial condition and find the key that unlocks potential.

Incredible content and delivery!

Loved it! Once again you have delivered ADHD information to help anyone gain perspective. Well Done!!!!

A simple but important message

I found the authors’ take on ADHD simple but helpful. As a father of an adult daughter with ADHD, I found lots of helpful information in this book. “A race car brain with bicycle brakes”. It expanded my understanding of ADHD, and helped reassure me that medication is often the best route to go for treatment in addition to exercise and mindfulness.

Excellent for those who struggle with ADHD and those who love us

This has to be the most clear, concise, but thorough book I’ve found on ADHD. I found comfort in being so understood and strength in practical, holistic approaches to thriving with ADHD. Thank you!

Well written and read

This book is written to you if you have ADHD unlike most that are written clinically or to parents and teachers dealing with ADHD. It’s incredibly helpful and mind opening especially if you’re just on your journey for diagnoses.

amazing! felt so understood

Felt so understood! Have been recommending yo everyone I know. As a physician with ADHD myself, this had been life changing.

Enjoyed listening but need to recap

The reader is ok, the speed and pronounciation is good. The content is also good as it is the newest book of the Dr.Hallowell so far. Still it is very dense with the content, will need to listem second time to understand and remember more. Not very long, about 4h.

Full of good information, science, and advice!

Even with wicked ADHD, I was able to finish this in two sessions at work. It was incredibly validating and helpful!

Open My Mind plus Tools

I really appreciate this book both in a personal level and a professional level. This book provides not only knowledge but insights, mindsight and other practical resources to explore. I would definitely recommend this book to any one!

Foster daughter with adhd

I just took placement of a foster daughter with adhd. She has a lot of trauma and struggles with behaviors. This book really helped me understand how her brain and thought process works. Though things still aren’t great I’ve seen small improvements. And that’s a win to me.

great book

This book gives such an eye-opening realization to my behavior. It's a great read if you think you have adhd.
