Dr. Weiss’s writing reminds us that our ADHD differences do not make us ‘broken,’ but bring value and richness to our work and our society—that variety is the spice of life.
Embracing A.D.D.
A Healing Perspective
Description
Rather than treat ADD/ADHD as a disorder, Dr. Lynn Weiss celebrates this "brainstyle"—a diversity in thinking—and provides a caring, humanized perspective. Via insights and exercises and using her experience as a counselor and social scientist, Dr. Weiss harnesses the positives in ADD/ADHD rather than the negatives by giving readers the tools they need to embrace their unique brainstyle.
