About this item

.World-renowned authors Edward M. Hallowell, M.D. and John J. Ratey, M.D. literally "wrote the book" on ADD/ADHD more than two decades ago. Their bestselling book, Driven to Distraction, largely introduced us to this diagnosis and sold more than a million copies along the way. Now, most people have heard of ADHD and almost everyone knows someone who has it. But lost in the discussion of both childhood and adult diagnosis is the potential upside: many hugely successful entrepreneurs and highly creative people attribute their success to their ADHD. Most people also don't know about recent research developments, including innovations that give us 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 at any age.
