Outliers
This is not an ADHD related book, but I just finished it and it is EYE OPENING. Here is the free PDF & here is the audiobook on YouTube. I recommend everyone read this incredible book by Malcolm Gladwell. It takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" - the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question:
what makes high-achievers different?
He gives real life examples and says we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band.
