Society and those with ADHD have been brainwashed to focus on the "what,” as in: What do you want to major in? What do you want to be when you grow up? Often, the "what" becomes the measuring stick to judge "who" you are. Many become condescending and self-critical when “who” they are is not aligned with “what” they think they're supposed to be. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper interviews MCC coach David Giwerc (http://addca.com) as they deconstruct things to attend to understanding "who" you are so that you can reveal “what” you were born to be.

Many with ADHD can benefit and learn to manage themselves by paying attention to what they pay attention to. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews Anna Dutko (http://round2.fit), who did just that. After a breakup, Anna found herself bored on the dating scene. After some self-reflection when asked what she wanted to do, she realized she was the boring part when her response was, “I don't know.” This inspired her to go on 30 dates with herself to find out what she liked to do when the only person involved was her. Listen to our interview with Anna and gain insight on the value of the experience and ponder what the same might do for you. It was very transformational for her and helped her find her way to learn more about herself and what she wants in life.   Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention def

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder stimulant medications have been demonized for decades. Questions abound and answers are often hard to find, like: Are stimulant medication shortages just a ploy for the big pharmaceutical companies to up the price?

If you take stimulants, will you become a zombie?

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) isn’t a deficit of attention but rather a self-regulation issue. It challenges those with ADHD because they must effortfully engage the executive functioning brain to override the automatic brain, the primitive brain, the “lizard brain” as marketers call it. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews Alan Brown, advertising executive with ADHD and the founder of ADD Crusher (http://addcrusher.com) and CrusherTV (http://crushertv.com). They discuss ADHD and how your lizard brain falls prey, hunted by politicians, the media, and corporate America and how each exploits your self-regulation challenges for their own self-interests, including how they hijack your amygdala and control your decisions in a programmed way, selling you what doesn’t work and then selling it to you again and again and again. Most importantly, they share brain hacks and attention exercises to reclaim control and tame your lizard brain. If you ofte
