ADHD 2.0

Dr. Halowell and Dr. Ratey know what they're talking about in this book about ADHD. 

More importantly, they make it clear what ADHD is and what it's not. How it does have its downsides and is also a superpower once its channeled. And they show you ways to harness this superpower to achieve your potential. 

This factual and accessible explanation of ADHD helped me understand better those around me who manage this challenge and how I can support them. 

It's a short succinct read that cuts through the noise of this misrepresented diagnosis and brings a positive spin to our perception of ADHD. 

A must read for those with ADHD and those who interact with those with it.
