Although this book is not, technically, a cyberpsychology-related book, it’s included here as ADHD is commonly linked to online addictions.
As the doctors explain, those with ADHD are 5 to 10 times more likely to have some sort of addiction.
If you, or your child, has ADHD or is suspected of having ADHD, then this is a book that is worth reading.
As both authors are psychiatrists who have ADHD and treat those with the same condition, they write from both personal experience and from a scientific therapeutic perspective.
Their perspective on what ADHD is – how it is a super-power, rather than a pathology can help to reframe how you view and optimise the strengths of the condition while minimising the tougher sides of living with the condition.
CBT, narrative psychology NLP and positive psychology are all therapeutic interventions that have their basis in changing how we view and talk about our lived experience.
That is what this book can do for you.
By explaining what is going on in your brain and giving you a new vocabulary to understand what it means for you, you will have more tools to help empower you to take back control of your habits and pitfalls that seem to be a constant stumbling block for you.
So, this is why this book is included with other recommended books.
