As hunters, they would have been constantly scanning their environment, looking for food or threats (distractibility); they’d have to act without hesitation (impulsivity); and they’d have to love the high-stimulation and risk-filled environment of the hunting field. With our structured public schools, office workplaces, and factories, those who inherit a surplus of “hunter skills” are often left frustrated in a world that doesn’t understand or support them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Hartmann shows, by reframing our view of ADHD, we can begin to see it not as a disorder, but as simply a difference and, in some ways, an advantage. He reveals how some of the world’s most successful people can be labelled as ADHD hunters and offers concrete non-drug methods and practices to help hunters—and their parents, teachers, and managers—embrace their differences, nurture creativity, and find success in school, at work, and at home. Providing a supportive “survival” guide to help fine-tune your natural skill set, rather than suppress it, Hartmann shows that each mind—whether hunter, farmer, or somewhere in between—has value and great potential waiting to be tapped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46541632504044,"sku":"9781620558980","price":32.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27266243482764.jpg?v=1749684831"},{"product_id":"tdah-by-thom-hartmann-9798888500088","title":"TDAH","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUna guía para reformular nuestra visión del TDAH y aprovechar sus beneficios\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExplica que las personas con TDAH no tienen trastornos, sino que son “cazadores en un mundo de agricultores”; es decir, poseen un conjunto de habilidades mentales únicas que les habrían permitido prosperar en una sociedad de cazadores-recolectores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOfrece métodos y prácticas concretas y sin fármacos para ayudar a los “cazadores”, y a sus padres, maestros y administradores, a aceptar sus diferencias, fomentar la creatividad y encontrar el éxito en la escuela, el trabajo y el hogar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRevela cómo algunas de las personas más exitosas del mundo pueden ser etiquetadas como cazadores con TDAH, incluidos Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison y Andrew Carnegie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCon un 10 % de los niños del mundo occidental mostrando indicios de tener trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad, o TDAH, y un número creciente de adultos autodiagnosticándose, después de décadas de lucha, debemos plantear la pregunta: ¿cómo pudo cometer tal “error” la naturaleza?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEn \u003cem\u003eTDAH\u003c\/em\u003e, Thom Hartmann explica que las personas con TDAH no son anormales, desordenadas o disfuncionales, sino simplemente “cazadores en un mundo de agricultores”. A menudo muy creativos y resueltos en la búsqueda de un objetivo elegido por ellos mismos, las personas con síntomas de TDAH poseen un conjunto de habilidades mentales únicas, las cuales les habrían permitido prosperar en una sociedad de cazadores-recolectores. Como cazadores, habrían estado constantemente escaneando su entorno, buscando comida o amenazas (distracción); habrían tenido que actuar sin vacilación (impulsividad) y habrían amado el entorno de alta estimulación y lleno de riesgos del campo de caza.

For many, their ADHD traits have led to difficulties in school, relationships, and work. But for our hunter-gatherer ancestors, these characteristics were necessary for survival. Hunters must be easily distractible, constantly scanning their environment, and unafraid of taking risks. When humanity experienced the agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago, a vastly different type of personality—the methodical “Farmer”—became dominant. Most of our modern world is tailored to this Farmer personality, from 9-to-5 jobs to the structure of public schools, leaving ADHD Hunters feeling like unsuccessful outcasts. However, the Hunter skill set offers many opportunities for success in today’s Farmer society—if you learn how to embrace your ADHD traits instead of fighting against them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this step-by-step guide, Thom Hartmann explains the positive side of Hunter behaviour. He reveals how Hunters make excellent entrepreneurs, sharing ADHD success stories from Fortune 500 CEOs, inventors, small business owners, and his own hands-on experience in launching new businesses. Drawing on solid scientific and psychological principles, he provides easy-to-follow organisational strategies, tips to maintain focus and create a distraction-free workspace, and tools to set goals, build a business plan, and discover the right business project to keep you motivated. Hartmann shares valuable advice for both the Hunter entrepreneur and the Hunter within an existing company and for curtailing the aggressive side of the Hunter personality in group situations or manager positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRevealing the many ADHD opportunities hidden within the challenges of work, relationships, and day-to-day life, Hartmann also includes tips on navigating family relationships and parenting—for most Hunter parents are also raising Hunter children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47429693276396,"sku":"9781620555750","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781620555750.jpg?v=1774560047"},{"product_id":"living-with-adhd-by-thom-hartmann-9781620559000","title":"Living with ADHD","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA practical system for those with ADHD to take back their personal power and embrace their unique talents for success in the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLiving with ADHD\u003c\/em\u003e explains how those with ADHD grow up wounded by the negative labels and attitudes surrounding them and their “diagnosis”. It shares simple and fast-acting techniques from neurolinguistic programming (NLP) to recalibrate painful memories into valuable learning experiences, re-pattern learned behaviours and negative habits, and discover personal motivation. The book reveals how the novelty-seeking behaviours of those with ADHD are valuable assets to society and should be embraced rather than suppressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the first rules of child-rearing is “condemn the behaviour, not the child.” Yet this commonsense rule doesn’t seem to apply in the case of attention deficit disorder, or ADHD, where the very name of the condition implies that those labelled with it are “disordered,” “deficient,” and incapable of paying attention. Those with ADHD grow up wounded, told by teachers, guidance counsellors, even parents that they are dysfunctional and unable to succeed in the “normal” world. But, as ADHD expert Thom Hartmann explains, those with ADHD are capable of great success if they can shift the negative self-image created by others and learn to work with their unique strengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this accessible guide for adults with ADHD and the parents and teachers of ADHD children, Hartmann offers a practical system of useful tools and strategies to heal the damage done to a person who grew up labelled as “dysfunctional” and help them cope with—and succeed at—daily life. He explains how the character traits of ADHD were once valuable assets in hunter-gatherer societies and that the later dominance of agricultural and industrial societies, where “farmer” and “worker” skillsets excel, left ADHD “hunters” as behavioural outcasts. Sharing simple and often fast-acting techniques from NLP, Hartmann explains how those with ADHD can take back their personal power, recalibrate painful memories into valuable learning experiences, shed fears and negative habits, and rebuild their self-image in a positive way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy integrating the strategies in this book into daily life, those with ADHD can transform their way of responding to the world, discover personal motivation, and teach their children to do the same. As Hartmann reveals, it is not ADHD that needs to be healed but our attitudes toward those born with the “hunter” gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596789203180,"sku":"9781620559000","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/e26a7f5249675a6f59a60bde27a72bd3.jpg?v=1777946811"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/thom-hartmann.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
