A useful tool for those with ADHD
- By SomethingWithWolves on 04-02-2020
Publisher's Summary
A newly revised and updated edition of the classic guide to reframing our view of ADHD and embracing its benefits
• Explains that people with ADHD are not disordered or dysfunctional, but simply “hunters in a farmer’s world”--possessing a unique mental skill set that would have allowed them to thrive in a hunter-gatherer society
• 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
• Reveals how some of the world’s most successful people can be labeled as ADHD hunters, including Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, and Andrew Carnegie
With 10 percent of the Western world’s children suspected of having Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADHD, and a growing number of adults self-diagnosing after decades of struggle, the question must be raised: How could Nature make such a “mistake”?
In this updated edition of his groundbreaking classic, Thom Hartmann explains that people with ADHD are not abnormal, disordered, or dysfunctional, but simply “hunters in a farmer’s world.” Often highly creative and single-minded in pursuit of a self-chosen goal, those with ADHD symptoms possess a unique mental skill set that would have allowed them to thrive in a hunter-gatherer society. 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.
As 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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic Reviews
“In this groundbreaking book, Thom Hartmann makes a unique contribution to our understanding of ADHD. In considering ADHD in an evolutionary context, Thom was the first to point out the survival advantages of ADHD in hunter-gatherer societies and also the first to identify the link between ADHD and creativity. As such, Thom will be recognized as a pioneer contributing to the reconceptualization of ADHD from being considered only a ‘disorder’ to being viewed as a ‘mode of thought’ characterized by enhanced flexibility and creativity.” (Richard Silberstein, professor emeritus of cognitive neuroscience at Swinburne University)
“It is refreshing to find a book that places ADHD in a framework that does not imply dysfunction.... The metaphor of a ‘hunter in a farmer’s world’ fits so many of the ADHD youngsters and adults with whom I have worked.” (Margaret (Peg) Dawson, EdD, NCSP, codirector of the Center for Learning and Attention Disorders)
“Why are attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and related conditions so common? Could they in some way be advantageous? These questions and some possible answers are woven through this book, providing basic factual information about ADHD with a twist that helps readers recognize the value - sometimes quite special - of people who have it.” (Dale E. Hammerschmidt, MD, FACP, emeritus professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota)

empathetic+empowering alternative 2 pathologizing
I think this book is a must-read for anyone grappling with the impact of ADHD on their lives, particularly for parents trying to understand how to approach and understand a fresh diagnosis of their children.
The book offers an alternative narrative and pathway to understanding oneself, and one that I wish had been given to me a long time ago.
Too often, from childhood, (undiagnosed) ADHD is treated as "just being bad, lazy, stupid", or (when diagnosed) ADHD is treated as the scapegoat for every mistake or failure ("i acted out but it's only because of my ADHD")
often the diagnosis carries the judgement "you are less than others".
The book presents an alternative to this, and one that enabled a robust understanding of oneself, and how ADHD affects oneself, without deflecting the responsibility for one's actions to a disorder, or labeling ADHD people as "broken"

Vile "Us vs them" psuedoscience
Utterly departing from the DSM on ADHD, this horrendous chunk of psudeoscience promotes vile ideas.
Apparently, the world can be split into farmers and hunters. Us special 10% hunters struggle in a world built by farmers.
The author offers no citations, and a LOT of praise for his colleagues. He's advancing his career with this contemptible work.
The agricultural revolution was 60k years ago. Our species is 250k years old. This is tripe on par with Christian dogma.
No answers are to be found here. Go see a psychologist, or follow "how to adhd" on YouTube instead.

Nuggets in the deep deep mud
Yes, there are some good nuggets in this book but there are few and far between, hidden in a maddeningly slow delivery that borders on condescending at times (the way people tend to slow their speech when meeting "differently able" individuals), don't get me started on "quite/unquote". So many examples or words/expressions are outdated and barely relatable ("this one time i had to prepare for a speech at the Waldorf"... rolled ny eyes) despite the "updated in 2018", lots of name dropping but pointless as most names are unknown in our modern times. Not sure who the audience is supposed to be, would not recommend if you have ADHD, everything feels drawn out and diluted to infinity, this book could be condensed in about 1hr if it focused on its hunter/farmer premise as an intellectual lens and didn't try to give out practical tips which are laughable and jugmental (make lists, wait a day, etc. go somewhere else for advice) or barely veiled attempts at 1980s social commentary (smoking is bad, mmmkay).

Hate speech
So what you are saying is that neurotypical people are the product of slavery and genocide and have been selectively bred to be domesticated non creative battery chicken people. Sounds pretty bad. I think id rather loose my keys every now and again then suffer that fate. Sounds like you neurotypical people devolved sorry to hear that.
