Summary of dr. edward m. hallowell & dr. john j. ratey's adhd 2.0

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We are the problem kid who drives his parents crazy by being totally disorganized, unable to follow through on anything, and incapable of cleaning up a room. We are the kid who gets daily lectures on how we're squandering our talent, wasting the golden opportunity that our innate ability gives us to do well. #2 ADHD is not just a disorder, but a way of being in the world. It is not entirely an asset or a curse, but rather a combination of both. It can be an advantage or a curse, depending on how it is managed. #3 People with ADHD are often described as being nonconformists. They have an innate ability to plunge their imagination deeply into life, which leads to their constant curiosity and desire to find out what's going on. #4 We have a pronounced intolerance of boredom, which is our kryptonite. We instantly seek stimulation when we experience it, which is why we often create problems or do things that aren't necessarily useful.
