Our feature speaker, Dr. Edward Ned Hallowell is considered to be one of the foremost experts on ADHD. He co-authored, with Dr. Ratey, the book Driven to Distraction, which has sold more than a million copies.
Dr Hallowell’s most recent book, Driven to Distraction at Work, identifies the underlying reasons why people lose their ability to focus. He explains that solutions like ‘time management’ or ‘to-do lists’ don’t work because they ignore the true causes of mental distraction.
