Power explains the fascinating science behind ADHD, describing how those with naturally lower dopamine levels can actually experience greater pleasure and focus when engaged in challenging tasks—much like our hunter-gatherer ancestors who channeled these traits to become exceptional at survival skills. He thoughtfully distinguishes between genetic ADHD and similar symptoms caused by our modern digital lifestyle, offering hope for those feeling perpetually distracted.Power's work with schools reveals his compassionate approach, reframing ADHD as "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Ability" to help young people recognize their unique potential. Rather than viewing it as a disorder to be fixed, he advocates for finding that special interest or activity where hyperfocus can lead to extraordinary results. This perspective shift doesn't minimize the real challenges of inattention and procrastination but instead offers a pathway to channel these traits productively, proving that neurological differences that once helped our ancestors survive can become powerful assets in today's world.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
