Description
Dr. Ned Hallowell is a child and adult psychiatrist, a
New York Times bestselling author,
and among the world’s leading experts in the field of attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). He’s written numerous books
about ADHD and modern distraction, including Driven to
Distraction, Delivered from Distraction: Getting
the Most out of Life with Attention Deficit
Disorder, Worry: Controlling it and
Using it Wisely, and others. Dr. Hallowell
points out that those with ADHD possess what he calls a “race car
brain,” capable of brilliance and great creativity, but without an
understanding of how to control and train minds with ADHD, it can
result in chaos and havoc.
Dr. Hallowell offers insight on the spectrum of ADHD, and the
misuse of the diagnosis. In the age of digital distraction, a great
many of us struggle to focus on tasks and goals. While his advice
primarily focuses on helping people with ADHD to regain control of
their minds and their lives, much of what he recommends can be
helpful to chaotic, distracted, minds of all kinds.
