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.

Woman Left Undiagnosed

I am 35 years old. Recently I had stumbled upon a lot of information from people with ADHD telling their stories. They were so relatable. I became determined to learn more as I had a doctor haphazardly mention ten years ago he thought I was misdiagnosed as a teen and probably had ADHD. I was given no further information. I brushed it off as I didn’t really know much about ADHD and how it effects people. My ignorance lead me to believe it was something that effected hyper little boys that performed poorly in school. Boy was I absolutely wrong! This book has been eye opening for me! I am so grateful for all the helpful information in this book. I am now scheduled to work with a therapist to get a diagnosis and a treatment plan. I finally have hope for the first time. I’m not broken.

highly recommend for adults with ADHD

Recently diagnosed as an adult - this book was the best starting point for my journey of understanding!

Phenomenal

I feel understood, and I understand what to do. They know their stuff, for sure

Great information, bland audio

I really enjoyed the text of the book, but found the audio reader bland and not terribly engaging. Will likely try to read more of the books by the authors regardless of the boring voicing or not.

FINALLY! a light in the dark.

I really loved this book. done with science and education. as a woman with ADHD and all 3 of my kids have ADHD as well, this book was very well written. when the psychologists have ADHD, it's always a better story.

Good, practical update for people with ADHD

Driven to distraction was my first book on ADHD. This is just the latest in that series of helpful info. Lots of good new info. The connection with exercise was fascinating. Great book.

Excellent.

The latest research. Succint. Powerful life stories. I have shared the table of pros and cons of behaviors with my family.

Great usable ideas

Within the first couple chapter I already had ideas ready to implement. Hoping to re-listen and make some serious plans for improving my life.

I’m not crazy or broken, there is hope

Hearing that there is clinical diagnosis for some of the things that I have felt my whole life is liberating. I don’t feel crazy. I feel like there is hope and that I’m not a failure. Looking forward to continuing to progress through my journey with new tools. And a new perspective.

Now I understand!

This book is very helpful for anyone with ADHD or with loved ones with ADHD. It answers so many of the questions about how it feels to have ADHD and what can help.
