Here is what people are saying about Thom.

“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 ADHD to ‘make 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, PhD, author of Joseph Campbell: A Fire in the Mind

“Once again, with tireless scholarship and a bit of poetry, Thom Hartmann helps take us to the edge of knowing ourselves, our brains, and our world.”
-John J. Ratey, MD, author A User’s Guide to the Brain and co-author Driven To Distraction

“Thom Hartmann has made one of the most important contributions to transforming our understanding of ADHD. Thom was the first to consider ADHD in an evolutionary context. He showed that ADHD has not only a significant survival advantage in hunter-gatherer societies, but that it also confers powerful advantages in our contemporary civilization. Thom was one of the very first to comment on the link between ADHD and creativity. He will be recognized as a pioneer contributing to the reconceptualization of ADHD from being considered only a ‘disorder’ to being viewed as a ‘mode of thought’ characterized by enhanced flexibility and creativity.”
- Richard Silberstein, professor emeritus of cognitive neuroscience at Swinburne University
