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.
