the book” on ADD ADHD more than two decades ago. Their bestseller Driven to Distraction

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

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
