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 readers thrive, by the bestselling 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, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling co-author of Raising Cain

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 bestseller, 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.

Audiobook about ADHD not for ADHD listeners

The book is clearly written in a concise manner and presents relevent information about the ADHD, however, the case for audiobook seems to be a different one; I have often dozed off due to monotone reading and lack of any particular hooks beyond my interest in ADHD.

I highly recommend this book, although ebook or print version might be a better alternative for people struggling with ADHD

worth the listen if you are ADHD positive

loved this book and thought the mentoring was spot on and .uch needed for all

Fascinating read

I like glue the Aurora talked about real world examples and how folks can support themselves through systems, support, meds, exercise, and maintaining connection. I really like emphasis on connecting and connectedness because one may already feel out of place or out of sorts. What a powerful thing to know you can land safely with people who get you. They underscore the power of love and belonging for those learning to love well with their adhd and I appreciated that!

FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART THANK YOU!

Thank you for this message of hope!
Thank you for explaining everything with such kindness, and grace.
Thank you for making me understand at almost 35 years old, that it is what I've been struggling all my life with. it has been such a difficult road, but now I feel it is a new begging, that I'm not hopeless, and I can finally do something about it. By moment I almost cried because of how obvious it was that I had this all along, and how my life and mum life's could have been so much easier if I had been diagnosed way before! So again thank you, my heart is filled with hope now, which didn't happened for a very long time! Send you all the love in the world for this book!
Kate.

very informative easy listen

The format and presentation is exactly how i.like to hear the information. Informative and easy to listen to. finished in one day.

I feel a sense of relief.

Relief that the authors understand. The authors are Dr with ADHD and I believe it shows. Relief that they aren’t selling something other then understanding. Relief that someone is trying to help and not just because they can pay for it. This book is a great place to start or for new understanding of ADHD.

good

I keep learning more about ADHD & I have 2 kids that present in completely different ways, so I appreciate the information a great deal.

Very helpful book for anyone with ADHD or symptoms of ADHD.

I recommend this book to anyone who has been diagnosed with ADHD or suffers from symptoms of it.

Very helpful

Book was very helpful in learning to cope with ADHD and helped me feel a lot more understood and hopeful that it can get better.

Very helpful - not a sales pitch

I almost didn’t listen to this book because of reviews making it sound like a sales brochure. That is disingenuous in the fullest and really disappointing that people do that stuff.

It’s a quick listen but is very empowering. It’s helped me see myself much differently and helped me to understand why I do things.

I’m a “successful” person by US standards but I have nagging short comings that have always left me feeling like my success was just “smoke and mirrors” and the authors touch on that in this book. They helped me internalize why I do what I do and arguably gave me some new tools in my shed to understand myself. To acknowledge why I’m doing what I’m doing and to allow me to know the why so I can attempt to improve those undesirable behaviors.

If you have ADHD, think you have it, or your spouse/child/friend/family member has it; implore you to read this book. It very well could change all of your lives.
