The story we’re told is that someone suffering from ADHD is scattered, forgetful, inattentive. They interrupt people, are more likely to be fired from jobs, can’t complete work on time, and absolutely cannot stop talking. Ever.

We’re told that people with ADHD flounder to function in the world around them due to these symptoms. But if we take that story at face value, why are there so many people with ADHD who are able to not only function, but flourish?

I viewed my symptoms as an added obstacle. One day, I committed to changing this viewpoint – I wanted to know why ADHD was viewed and described the way that it was. The viewpoints I had internalized came from studies done in the early 90s. In 2018, two studies showed ADHD in a different light.

Rather than scattered thoughts, we now describe cognitive dynamism: having so many thoughts running through your head that you become energized. Rather than inattentive, we now describe hyper-focus: the ability to become so focused on a task that you disassociate with the world around you. Rather than distractible, we now describe divergent thinking: the ability to generate creative ideas by exploring many different possible solutions.

Let’s start a conversation about the positive, impactful side of ADHD. The side that helps us be better at our jobs and in our communities. If you don’t have ADHD, you will be asked to have an honest conversation with yourself about what kind of preconceived ideas you bring when talking to someone with or about a mental health condition. Together let’s look at changing the story for those with ADHD.

This week, How to ADHD presents an incredible special guest -- Dr. Ned Hallowell!

Dr. Hallowell is a very busy man -- not only a leading ADHD expert, but a New York Times bestselling author who's written 20 books, many of them on ADHD.

But thanks to the generous support from our Patreon Brains, we were able to have someone film him in his New York office while chatted over Skype about living with ADHD, how to deal with the sensitivity to rejection that often comes with it, and the importance of connection.

You all ROCK.

What kind of stuff will I get with my Maxi membership ?

What if I’m already doing another course, program or mentorship?

Your Maxi Membership will perfectly compliment any business venture, mentorship program, formal degree, online course or personal development regime you are undertaking.

However, many of our members end up focusing exclusively on Maxi strategies and leave their other programs.

One of the best things about being a Maxi is our incredible community!

Post any question about any topic and receive high-quality & high-level responses from our advanced members.

How much time do I need to commit to this?

You can spend as little or as many hours as you like online classes. As a rule of thumb, we recommend you commit to at least 1 module per day (20 minutes approx. ), using the Maxi once per day (10 miniutes), and spending time in the winning community (20 minutes a day). You will transform your life by spending just under an hour per day interacting with Maxi.

How detailed are these classes?

Each Module is beautifully presented in easy to digest modules that run for 15-20 minutes on average. Each Module takes 2-3 hours to complete. There are 6+ modules available to help you conquer every area of your life.

They are short enough to be digested quickly but long enough so that every detail is covered.
