Rather than treat ADD/ADHD as a disorder, Dr. Weiss celebrates this "brainstyle"--a diversity in thinking--and provides a humanized perspective. Using her experience as a counselor and social scientist, Dr. Weiss harnesses the positives in ADD/ADHD, rather than the negatives, by giving readers the tools they need to embrace their unique brainstyle.
