From a renowned scientist, a vivid and "utterly fascinating" (Los Angeles Times) exploration of the suspicion, terror, and rage that possess the mind of the paranoid.The paranoid inhabits a different realm of being, one that tilts the world ever so slightly. Delusions and hallucinations feed on each other, flourishing with amazing speed. Locked in a new mode of thinking the paranoid views life as from a cell. In a dozen case studies Dr. Ronald Siegel takes us on a chilling but mesmerizing journey into the dark mysteries of the human mind. We meet a woman who hears her teeth whispering; a beautiful ballet dancer who is in love with a shadow; a UCLA student who believes Hitler is speaking to him through a stolen computer program; and a cocaine addict for whom the invasion of imaginary bugs was strong enough to drive him to commit murder. A dedicated and compassionate scientist, Dr. Siegel follows his patients into the shadowlands where paranoia flourishes--drug addiction, prison, organized crime, and terrorism often at risk to himself. He explores mild cases of patients who vaguely believe something is stalking them to serious cases of patients with apocalyptic visions so intense that they shake the foundations of an entire community. Fascinating, enlightening, and immersive, "reading Whispers is like reading about an exotic and dangerous travel adventure" (The Washington Post).

Peter G. Anderson first met Master Wong when he was a sixteen-year-old boy searching for answers. To Anderson, Master Wong possessed wisdom that seemed almost inhuman. He saw everything, felt everything, and knew everything-a gift that was respected without question due to Master Wong's incredible kindness and humanness. With Master Wong's quiet guidance, Anderson's life began to change. As Anderson grew into an adult, he eventually lost contact with his mentor. As he married, built a business, and had children, he had no idea that one day he would reach an awakening that would lead him back to the powerful guidance of his once cherished advisor. In his guidebook to help others find their own awareness and true purpose, Anderson shares anecdotes that provide a poignant glimpse into his relationship with Master Wong and how he learned to recover his closeness with God, his fellow man, earth, and most importantly, with himself. Included is insight into how others can ask important questions, find the real self, avoid the lure of perfectionism, and learn the right way to love. A Promise to All reveals one man's compelling journey to the truth while encouraging others to leave old habits behind and replace them with a new awareness about themselves and those around them.

Seeing all these positive qualities lined up, you might be surprised to learn that they are traits typical to people with ADHD.

Today, we label these traits as a 'disorder', but they were once essential to our ancestors' survival, giving them energy or ability to hyperfocus when hunting. It was quite simply advantageous to have these traits.

In The ADHD Advantage, leading psychiatrist and viral TedX speaker Dr Anders Hansen shows you how to turn your diagnosis into an asset, handle the negative aspects of ADHD, and find joy in the fact we aren't all the same.
