Thank you to Netgalley for the advanced copy for review.

Overall, this isn't a bad book. Unfortunately, it's mainly the history and actual science behind ADHD, which is interesting, but not what the title necessarily implies.

Hansen goes into great detail about many facets of ADHD, both neurological and behavioral, and has great facts and case studies. At the end of each chapter he has a sort of summary that recaps the facts presented as the 'ADHD Advantage,' and provides 'tips' for adjusting behavior. These tips aren't anything new, and read as a checklist of things Buzzfeed has written about so many times already--take more breaks, exercise more, try not to multitask.

I don't suggest this to anyone seeking true 'tips' to utilizing their ADHD, but it was interesting from the scientific perspective. I highlighted some things to research more later or share with others. I feel some sections near the beginning could have been shortened, and the back half could have been expanded.
