ADHS ist kein Makel - Hilfreiche Strategien für Kinder und Erwachsene (Ungekürzte Lesung)

Ein Verstand wie ein Rennwagen ... mit Fahrradbremsen. Edward M. Hallowell und John J. Ratey richten den Fokus in diesem leicht zugänglichen Ratgeber auf die positiven Seiten von ADHS. Denn: Was Menschen mit ADHS auf der einen Seite daran hindert, sich auf eine einzige Sache zu konzentrieren, verschafft ihnen auf der anderen die Fähigkeit zum Superfokus. Dem Hang zu Prokrastination steht die Gabe gegenüber, viele Dinge in kurzer Zeit erledigen zu können. Und die Tendenz zu impulsiven Entscheidungen? Ermöglicht kreative Problemlösungen! Die Autoren stellen in diesem Hörbuch einfache Strategien vor, diese Stärken hervorzubringen und die negativen Begleiterscheinungen von ADHS so zu kanalisieren, dass sie im Alltag weniger hinderlich sind - eine inspirierende und hilfreiche Anleitung für das Leben mit einem Gehirn, das im Bruchteil von Sekunden von 0 auf 100 springen kann, aber mit dem Bremsen so seine Probleme hat.
