The negative reviews point out there's no science in this book, full of anecdotes and conjecture, light on proven facts.

I'm going to have trouble convincing an adult with ADD to read a 367 page eBook. Are the Cliff Notes available?

This book was very eye opening. Most people don't understand ADD at all, nor did I. I did borrow it from hoopla for free tho. At this price tho, well worth it as well!

You might not when they start to see so much of themself as they start reading.If you can get them to start, you just might be all right. (I uh, know a guy who's just the same ;⁠-⁠))

Which one of these non-Amazon stores has the easiest DRM to break? I am getting away from tying my stuff in Amazon's ecosystem and I think Kindle books after Jan 1 2023 changed to a different format to not allow old Kindle for PC versions to download and use DeDRM to remove it.

Dr. Gabor Maté is a schill and a hack. If Joe Rogan is your source of truth, this book is for you.

How stupid is the book? it ends with the phrase "If we can actively love, there will be no attention deficit, and no disorder".
