have you read any of [please emil fiz for the author's] books on add/adhd? his latest one is titled [name], and in it, he presents a compelling and detailed analysis of how add/adhd research over the past 2 decades has been grossly biased in favor of the medical/pharmacological establishment, supporting rampant drug treatment.
thom likewise presents compelling recent research that strongly suggests -- if not outright proves -- that at least 50% of add/adhd cases involve a positive genetic trait that has historically -- over the past 60 thousand years or so -- has turned on in human beings prior to catastrophic challenges, and may be responsible, all or in part, for our historic survival as a species.
[his] main point is that many people with add/adhd are essentially hunters at heart, not farmers -- and therefore they (we) are people who live with a constant need to not stay settled and always be picking up stray information from the periphery. when cultivated with care and understood as a potentially immensely positive asset, [he] suggests that add/adhd is a tremendous gift that one can harness towards unlimited learning possibilities.
it's easy for me to consider [his] argument in light of 2012. the parallel's with his historical perspective seem pretty obvious.
[he] also provides detailed practices for harnessing add/adhd character traits and putting them to good use. in addition to just recognizing that add/adhd may in fact be a serious gift, he suggests lots of physical exercise, healthy diet, and -- my favorite part -- thinking creatively, like a hunter :d
