And he's easy to be around.

I have a daughter, and the truth is, and this is going to sound awful, I never thought she was very smart. And I'm ashamed of myself for thinking that. And she's staying up every night until 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning. to get her homework done. And one night she came just crying to me and she said, dad, I don't think I can ever be as smart as my friends. And it just broke my heart.

And I scanned her the next day and I'd actually scanned her originally, but I had no experience in scans. This was like 1991. I'm like, a child psychiatrist and an expert in ADD, and I didn't see it in my own child. And the next day, I put her on a tiny dose of Ritalin and scanned her again, and her brain normalized. Normalized.

A week later, I had dinner with her, and I'm like, do you notice any difference? And she said, oh, my God. She said, a class seemed like it always took eight hours to just do that one class, and I was always lost, and I'm very religious. I was praying to God that the teacher wouldn't call on me because I was lost.

She said, now that same class goes by in about 20 minutes and my hand's up because I track what's going on. And that child, who had always gotten B's and C's but with great effort, Her first report card was straight A's. The next 10 years, straight A's.

She actually got into the University of Edinburgh's veterinarian school, one of the best vet schools in the world where they clone Dolly the sheep. And if I wouldn't have figured that out, she would have been condemned to a lifetime of mediocrity. hating herself, working so hard to get a mediocre result. Optimizing your brain.

And medicine's never the first thing I think about, but it's one of the things I think about because I just want to use all the tools in my toolbox to optimize your brain because if I optimize your brain, I optimize your life.

Well, for things that are new, novel... Highly interesting, stimulating, or frightening.

People with ADD can pay attention just fine. That's why a lot of people who have it go, I don't have it. Like if I love my history teacher, I'm like focused. But then when I go to geometry, I can't do it at all. Yeah.
