Good advice for everyone, not just those with ADD

I think a lot of the advice, compassion and understanding presented in this book not only specifically applies to ADD children and adults but the world could significant benefit generally by applying these approaches with all people in mind. Everybody wants to feel safe, to feel heard, feel loved and feel like they can be their own true self. Those that suffer with ADD certainly have a higher mountain to climb and collectively we need to be aware and be educated and this book certainly goes a long way in presenting what we all need to hear, understand and apply.

Cuts to core!

Love how Dr Gabor is a true reductionist, curing the disease that determines the systems rather than treating the symptoms to determine the behaviour. Such an eloquent way of reminding us of our own ability to heal our pain that ma infests as illness, through embracing love of one's self so we can love others.

Good content and helpful tips

I found this book to be amazing when listening to it. So much made sense and I implemented many changes in my life that I can see made a big difference as far as family life goes.

I did however find the narrator dry. Having ADD, I had to rewind a few times because I quickly zoned out because his voice was monotonous however the content isn’t.

Gabor Maté is extremely educated and very convincing in the way he present his work. As with all experts in the field of mental health/ illness I take their work with a grain of salt. There’s so many different views and biases when it comes to this topic. In saying that, it greatly affected the way I structure my ADL to change my environment for the better.

Essential reading for us all

Gabor Mate is one of a kind, as an esteemed psychiatrist openly and vulnerably sharing his own healing journey and its impact on parenting and inner peace. He does this with a deep acceptance of himself and others knowing until each of us heal the wounds of the past we will continue to enact them. A courageous journey to inspire us all to heal and raise children that are securely attached and well adjusted. Thank you Gabor.
