Legitimately more than anything in my entire life, I can't stop recommending it to people I know. I felt called out the entire book. The entire thing of "I haven't done enough to warrant value" oof. I've noticed a distinct healthier mindset since reading it. It's made me more aware of my hyperawareness if that makes sense.
 
How about planets and the Milky Way getting new names soon? Pretty cool right

Word. I had a similar experience with the book. I did mushrooms right after reading it and analyzing my life. Perfect 5/7 would recommend.

I'm glad you're getting something out of it.

Funny enough I'm planning my day off next week around doing LSD and reading the book at city park, the part where they filmed that sad at scene in The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons.

How long has it sat with you, the knowledge that it gave?

I read the book the first week of January. It's not really the knowledge that I've taken from the book, it's gone deeper than that. I think I'm just a different person now. I often find myself acting in ways that I never would have before, without thinking about it. It doesn't occur to me until after that I did something different. These ways of acting are what people would call normal, but for people with ADD it's a huge difference.

I think it was that the book told me what was missing, and the mushrooms allowed me to experience that missing thing. Now having experienced it, it's not missing anymore, so all the associated problems are either gone or much, much less than they were before.

I'm at the point where I'm taken aback by being confronted with too much of my own personal reality. I think it's common with ADD/ADHD adults to have a staunch view of individuality, I've written often that ADD adults live many lives between their first and their last breath. I've said.. "Well that's just rude." at most of the book.

The book also takes away the worst part of validating your individuality through public perception. By making you respect yourself in the sense that you were able to accomplish the things you have due to who you are.

It opens an entire world into self acceptance and most importantly, removes the necessity of a "chip on the shoulder" as motivation for personal progress. Just an incredible book all around and I honestly couldn't be more appreciative of the recommendation.
 
Would somebody without add appreciate scattered minds as much as you guys?

also, I’m a fan of the author’s son, Aaron Nate, he’s a pretty great journalists

I was diagnosed with adhd, I'm sceptical of genetic explanations in general but I'm pretty textbook distracted/hyperactive/insomniac etc.

You should read the book then. It sort of breaks everything down without belittling you for who you are.

I feel like with ADHD I have a natural urge to constantly be doing "something". Once you figure out the reason why, it sort of removes a massive weight from your shoulders.

The book we're discussing is pretty critical of the genetic explanation, too. Which I think is smart. Genetics research is one of the fields most embroiled in the replication crisis, especially as it concerns more complex aspects of us as human beings.
