"A must read on ADHD."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader Review




More than two decades ago, world-renowned authors Dr Edward M. Hallowell and Dr John J. Ratey literally wrote the book on ADHD. Their groundbreaking bestseller Driven to Distraction introduced millions of readers to the condition and has sold more than a million copies worldwide.


Today, ADHD is widely recognised, but one important part of the conversation is often overlooked: its potential strengths. Many highly successful entrepreneurs, innovators and creative thinkers attribute their achievements to the unique traits associated with ADHD. At the same time, new scientific discoveries are transforming our understanding of how the ADHD brain works.


In ADHD 2.0, Drs Hallowell and Ratey-both of whom live with what they call a "variable attention trait"-draw on the latest research to help adults, parents and caregivers minimise the challenges of ADHD while maximising its advantages at any age.


Inside, you'll discover an arsenal of new strategies and lifestyle hacks for thriving with ADHD, including:



  • Find the right kind of difficult - use these behaviour assessments to discover the work, activity, or creative outlet best suited to an individual's unique strengths.

  • Reimagine your environment - what specific elements to look for - at home, at school, or in the workplace - to enhance the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit inherent in the ADHD mind.

  • Embrace your brain's natural wiring - take advantage of new findings about the brain's default mode network and cerebellum, which confer major benefits for people with ADHD

  • Harness the healing power of connection - tips for establishing and maintaining positive connection, 'the other Vitamind C', and the best antidote to the negativity that plagues so many people with ADHD.

  • Make informed decisions about medication - get the facts about the underlying chemistry, side effects, and proven benefits of all the pharmaceutical options.


Filled with professional expertise, personal experience and optimism, ADHD 2.0 offers a powerful new approach to understanding ADHD and unlocking the potential that lies within it.

Critics Review

Hallowell writes with clarity and humanity... [ADHD 2.0] is a message of hope... a remarkably clear, personable, digestible and useful book.
Dr Lloyd Sederer, 'Psychology Today'
Beautifully written, ADHD 2.0 is an inspired road map for living with a distractible brain. Two psychiatrists who have ADHD themselves combine the most recent brain science with humor, stories, and deep wisdom about how to manage your fluctuating attention. If you or your child suffer from ADHD, this book should be on your shelf. It will give you courage and hope.
Michael Thompson, Ph.D., 'New York Times' bestselling co-author of 'Raising Cain'
Infinitely validating, effortlessly funny, and staggeringly insightful . . . This book will save lives.

Peter S. Jensen, M.D., founder, The REACH Institute
As both a clinician and someone with ADHD, I found this book to be a reassuring masterpiece. Drs. Hallowell and Ratey combine evidence-based practice and research to help those with ADHD live a fulfilled and happy life. I will recommend it to my patients.
—Kristin Seymour, M.S.N., R.N., ADHD coach
With knowledge and empathy, Drs. Hallowell and Ratey have written a book that draws on the latest scientific advances and their decades of clinical experience. Most important, ADHD 2.0 provides hope; it is a must-read for anyone who has or loves a person with this very common condition.
