People who love or work with someone with ADD often feel conflicted: they want to help, but they don’t want to enable. They value the person’s creativity, but they are exhausted. Stephen Arterburn and Timothy Smith address ten myths about ADD, the pros and cons of medication, foods that help to minimize ADD, twelve strengths of people with ADD, new studies on how to calm the mind, showing empathy even when it’s hard, and more.

This fresh look at ADD–not as a malady but as a unique way of thinking–shows readers that ADD doesn’t have to ruin their relationships. In fact, it can make them stronger.
