From renowned mental health expert and speaker Dr. Gabor Maté, Scattered Minds explodes the myth of attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD) as genetically based—and offers real hope and advice for children and adults who live with the condition.

In this breakthrough guide to understanding, treating, and healing Attention Deficit Disorder, Dr. Gabor Maté, bestselling author of The Myth of Normal, and himself diagnosed with ADD:
  • Demonstrates that the condition is not a genetic "illness" but a response to environmental stress
  • Explains that in ADD, circuits in the brain whose job is emotional self-regulation and attention control fail to develop in infancy – and why
  • Shows how 'distractibility' is the psychological product of life experience
  • Allows parents to understand what makes their ADD children tick, and adults with ADD to gain insights into their emotions and behaviors
  • Expresses optimism about neurological development even in adulthood
  • Presents a program of how to promote this development in both children and adults
Whereas other books on the subject describe the condition as inherited, Dr. Maté believes that our social and emotional environments play a key role in both the cause of and cure for this condition. In Scattered Minds, he describes the painful realities of ADD and its effect on children as well as on career and social paths in adults.

While acknowledging that genetics may indeed play a part in predisposing a person toward ADD, Dr. Maté moves beyond that to focus on the things we can control: changes in environment, family dynamics, and parenting choices. He draws heavily on his own experience with the disorder, as both an ADD sufferer and the parent of diagnosed children. Providing a thorough overview of ADD and its treatments, without blaming anyone, Scattered Minds is essential and life-changing reading for the millions of ADD sufferers in North America today.

I recommend ADHD 2.0, by Edward M. Hallowell M.D. and John J. Ratey M.D.
Can't remember why I came he-- hey, look, the Whopperito is back at Burger king! Sweet!
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?

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.

ADHD definitely has a genetic component.

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".
