ADHS ist kein Makel

A mind like a race car... with bicycle brakes. Edward Hallowell and John Ratey focus on the positive aspects of ADHD in this accessible guide. Because what prevents people with ADHD from concentrating on a single task also gives them the ability to super-focus. The tendency to procrastinate is countered by the gift of being able to accomplish many things in a short time. And the inclination towards impulsive decisions? It enables creative problem-solving! The authors present simple strategies in this book to harness these strengths and channel the negative side effects of ADHD so that they are less obstructive in daily life – an inspiring and helpful guide for living with a brain that can jump from 0 to 100 in a split second but struggles with braking.
