Introducing ADHD 2.0: New Science and Essential Strategies for Thriving with Distraction--from Childhood through Adulthood. A groundbreaking solution for managing ADD/ADHD that combines cutting-edge research with proven strategies, brought to you by the bestselling authors of Driven to Distraction and Delivered from Distraction.

“An inspired road map for living with a distractible brain . . . If you or your child suffer from ADHD, this book should be on your shelf. It will give you courage and hope.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling co-author of Raising Cain

Dr. Edward M. Hallowell and Dr. John J. Ratey, world-renowned authors, literally “wrote the book” on ADD/ADHD over two decades ago. Their bestseller, Driven to Distraction, not only introduced this diagnosis to the public, but also sold over a million copies. Their expertise is unmatched in the field.

Now, ADHD is a household term. Almost everyone knows someone who has been diagnosed with it. But what often gets overlooked in the discussion of ADHD is the potential upside. Many highly successful entrepreneurs and creative individuals credit their achievements to ADHD. And what most people don't know are the recent research developments that provide 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 offer a plan for minimizing the downsides of ADHD and maximizing its benefits at any age. They provide an arsenal of new strategies and lifestyle hacks designed to help individuals with ADHD thrive, including:

Find the right kind of difficult: Use behavior assessments to discover the work, activity, or creative outlet that best suits your unique strengths. Everyone has their own unique talents and interests, and finding the right challenges can make a world of difference.

Reimagine your environment: Learn what specific elements to look for in your home, school, or workplace to enhance your creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. By modifying your surroundings, you can create an environment that nurtures your ADHD brain.

Embrace your neurological tendencies: Take advantage of new findings about the brain's default mode network and cerebellum, which confer major benefits for individuals with ADHD. We're not all wired the same way, and understanding and embracing your unique neurological traits can unlock your full potential.

Tap into the healing power of connection: Establish and maintain positive connections with others. These connections are like the "other Vitamind C" and can serve as the best antidote to the negativity that often plagues individuals with ADHD. Strong relationships are vital for overall well-being and success.

Consider medication: Get the facts about the underlying chemistry, side effects, and proven benefits of all the pharmaceutical options available. Medication can be a valuable tool for managing ADHD symptoms, but it's important to be well-informed and make informed decisions.

As inspiring as it is practical, ADHD 2.0 will help you tap into the power of this mercurial condition and find the key that unlocks your potential. Whether you're a parent seeking guidance for your child or an adult looking for strategies to thrive, this book is a must-read.
