As hunters, they would have been constantly scanning their environment, looking for food or threats (distractibility); they'd have to act without hesitation (impulsivity); and they'd have to love the high-stimulation and risk-filled environment of the hunting field. With our structured public schools, office workplaces, and factories those who inherit a surplus of \"hunter skills\" are often left frustrated in a world that doesn't understand or support them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Hartmann shows, by reframing our view of ADHD, we can begin to see it not as a disorder, but as simply a difference and, in some ways, an advantage. He reveals how some of the world's most successful people can be labeled as ADHD hunters and offers concrete non-drug methods and practices to help hunters--and their parents, teachers, and managers--embrace their differences, nurture creativity, and find success in school, at work, and at home. Providing a supportive \"survival\" guide to help fine tune your natural skill set, rather than suppress it, Hartmann shows that each mind--whether hunter, farmer, or somewhere in between--has value and great potential waiting to be tapped.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Healing Arts Press","offers":[{"title":"ADHD: A Hunter in a Farmer's World (Edition, Revised and Updated of Attention Deficit Disorder: A Different Perception) | Thom Hartmann | Paperback | 9781620558980 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks C 1739794","offer_id":48168808644760,"sku":"1739794","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71FQvNxo-VL.jpg?v=1771978059","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/adhd-a-hunter-in-a-farmers-world-edition-revised-and-updated-of-attention-deficit-disorder-a-different-perception","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
