The ADHD Advantage

Resumen del libro

Are you highly driven, creative, fearless, questioning, flexible, stubborn and enterprising? Are you able to think outside the box and able to shrug off almost every adversity? Seeing all these positive qualities lined up, you might be surprised to learn that they are traits typical to people with ADHD. Today we believe that these partially hereditary traits were essential to our ancestors' survival. People who didn't have the energy to hunt, or weren't able to hyperfocus on the savannah either, died of starvation or became prey themselves. It was quite simply advantageous to have these traits that we now label as a disorder'. In The ADHD Advantage, psychiatrist and mental health guru Dr Anders Hansen will show you how to turn your diagnosis into an asset, how to handle the negative aspects, and how to find a sense of joy in the fact that we aren't all the same.
