About the Author
Thom Hartmann is the host of the nationally and internationally syndicated talkshow The Thom Hartmann Program and the TV show The Big Picture on the Free Speech TV network. He is the award-winning New York Times bestselling author of 24 books, including Attention Deficit Disorder: A Different Perception, ADHD and the Edison Gene, and The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight. A former psychotherapist and founder of the Hunter School, a residential and day school for children with ADHD, he lives in Washington, D.C.
“Thom Hartmann’s Adult ADHD is a classic. This book is inspiring,
validating, and an extremely practical guide for the entrepreneur
with a ‘hunter’s’ mind. Adult ADHD continues to make an important
and unique contribution to the field and to adults with ADHD who
long to lead a meaningful and satisfying life.”
*Sari Solden, MS, LMFT, author of Women with Attention Deficit
Disorder and Journeys Through ADDultho*
“Thom Hartmann is one of the most prolific cultural-creatives of
our time. In this book he discloses the inner secret of how he uses
his own self-diagnosis of Adult ADD, to ‘make the lemonade’ from
what otherwise might be considered a disorder. Likewise, he shows
how many of the movers and shakers of our world have succeeded the
same way he has--by recognizing how their unique ‘hunter’ talents
readily lead both to creative opportunities and financial
success.”
*Stephen Larsen, Ph.D., author of Joseph Campbell: A Fire in the
Mind and The Neurofeedback Solution*
“As an empathetic native guide, Hartmann inspires hunters to revel
in their evolutionary legacy. He provides empowering strategies for
transforming ADHD challenges into tools for prospering in the
farmer’s domain. The motivating success stories reveal a multitude
of paths to self-acceptance and celebrate the triumph of
neurodiversity over conformity.”
*Ellen Littman, Ph.D., coauthor of Understanding Girls with
ADHD*
“My therapy clients often compare ADHD to a radio that is on
scan--they jump from station to station and get a lot of static.
This book is like landing on The Thom Hartmann Program on your
radio--a rare voice of calm, clarity, and compassion that reminds
us our so-called deficits can often reveal our greatest
strengths.”
*Rabbi Hillel Zeitlin, LCSW-C, director of the Maryland Institute
for Ericksonian Hypnosis & Psychoth*
