Description
A new perspective on Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD-ADHD) is presented in this revised and updated edition of a groundbreaking guide. Thom Hartmann argues that people with ADHD are not disordered or dysfunctional, but rather "hunters in a farmer's world" - individuals with a unique mental skill set that would have allowed them to thrive in a hunter-gatherer society.
By embracing their differences and nurturing creativity, individuals with ADHD can find success in various areas of life, including school, work, and home. This book offers concrete non-drug methods and practices to help both individuals with ADHD and those who support them. It also highlights the achievements of successful people who have been labeled as ADHD hunters, including notable historical figures.
With 10% of the Western world's children suspected of having ADHD, and a growing number of adults self-diagnosing, the question of how Nature could make such a "mistake" is raised. This updated edition provides a fresh understanding of ADHD, one that encourages acceptance and support for individuals with this condition.
