ADHD 2.0

Description
Book Introduction
Lately, I've been getting more and more distracted, my forgetfulness has gotten worse, and my concentration has dropped!
Could it be that I or my family have ADHD?
The two authors, both professors at Harvard Medical School and doctors of psychiatry,
Let us tell you everything you need to know about 'ADHD'!
Edward Hallowell and John Ratey, both professors of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, wrote the book Driven to Distraction 25 years ago, which literally defined attention deficit disorder (ADD).
The two authors, who actually had ADD, drew on their own experiences to explain why the syndrome is problematic and what it's like to live with it, and it quickly became a bestseller, selling over a million copies.
There have been changes since the two authors introduced ADD.
One is that the symptom of 'hyperactivity' has been added to ADD, and the official term for ADD is now ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
Yet most people still don't understand how widespread and complex ADHD symptoms are.
Another change is the emergence of a symptom called variable attention stimulus trait (VAST), which is discussed prominently in this book.
It's a cousin of ADHD, an environmentally induced condition that suggests our brains have developed antisocial habits to adapt to the constant barrage of data in our ubiquitous world.
In today's fast-paced society and data-rich environment, more and more people are struggling to focus and questioning whether they have ADHD or VAST (Variable Attentional Strategies).
However, we do not know how they can get help or what the treatment is.
Rather, inaccurate information about ADHD only increases misunderstandings and prejudices, making it difficult for those who have actually been diagnosed with ADHD.
That's why the two authors speak with confidence, drawing on the latest scientific research and years of clinical experience in ADHD.
People with ADHD shouldn't be neglected like this. It's time to upgrade our thinking about ADHD to version 2.0! The author wrote this book to help people with ADHD.
Furthermore, it conveys hope and courage that ADHD's unique strengths can be fully utilized to transform individuals into outstanding creators.

Publisher's Review
What if our brains had high-performance Ferrari-level engines, but with bicycle brakes?!
Start a new lifestyle to discover your ADHD strengths!
The two authors say something important is missing from current child and adult ADHD diagnoses: their "potential strengths."
Many highly creative people, including successful entrepreneurs, athletes, and artists, have already attributed their achievements to ADHD.
What exactly is it about ADHD that makes it so exceptional? The two authors explain with a simple analogy: a person with ADHD has the engine of a Ferrari, but the braking power of a bicycle.
The mismatch between engine output and brake performance is what causes our brain to have problems.
Drawing on recent research, the two authors explain how the ADHD brain works and offer suggestions on how to improve braking performance and build on your strengths.
·Improving cerebellar function: We introduce ways to find out which parts of our brain are malfunctioning and improve them to become happier in various interpersonal relationships, such as school, work, and family.
·Evaluate your strengths: Answer the 10 'Strengths Assessment' questions to find out what you're really good at.
This will help me find a career or creative activity that suits me.
·The Healing Power of Connection: Introducing the healing power of connection, which Dr. Hallowell calls “the other vitamin C.”
It emphasizes how important treatments for people with ADHD are love from family or caregivers, feeling understood, and spending time with friends or others in close relationships.
· Exercise and Medication: We provide various information on how to calm the mind and improve concentration through exercise to help treat ADHD, and why it is necessary to take medication that is right for you.
In addition, it provides various practical methods that can be applied in real life.
This will help you harness the power of the volatile condition called ADHD and find the key to unlocking your own potential.
Because ADHD is a ‘gift’, not a ‘defect’
We all need to understand ADHD!
The symptoms of ADHD that we often hear about have many negative aspects, such as 'difficulty learning inexplicably', 'uncontrollable mind', and 'difficulty organizing or planning'.
However, both authors emphasize the positive aspects, such as being 'highly creative and imaginative', 'strong-willed', and 'generous, unique, and with a lively sense of humor'.
Because the goal of this book is to ensure that our ignorance about ADHD no longer prevents talented individuals from achieving success, but instead limps through life in frustration, shame, failure, and ridicule!
If we truly understand ADHD and empower ourselves to overcome it, it will be the key to unlocking unimaginable success and possibilities.
The two authors are confident that they see this amazing gift every day during their long careers in clinical practice.
I hope that through this book, both adults and parents of children with ADHD will realize that ADHD is no longer a "defect" but a special "gift" and live happier lives.
