The ADHD Advantage with Dr. Anders Hansen + Shaparak Khorsandi

Are you highly driven, creative, fearless, questioning, flexible, stubborn and enterprising? Are you able to think outside the box and shrug off almost every adversity?

Seeing all these positive qualities lined up, you might be surprised to learn that they are traits typical to people with ADHD.

Today, we label these traits as a ‘disorder’, but they were once essential to our ancestors’ survival, giving them energy or ability to hyperfocus when hunting. It was quite simply advantageous to have these traits.

In The ADHD Advantage, leading psychiatrist and viral TedX speaker Dr Anders Hansen will show you how to turn your diagnosis into an asset, handle the negative aspects of ADHD, and find joy in the fact we aren’t all the same.

Anders will be in conversation with much-loved comedian Shaparak Khorsandi whose book Scatter Brain looks back on her life through the lens of ADHD and finally makes sense of the chaos. From discovering the joys of shoplifting through to  understanding her attraction to toxic men, Shaparak will have you laughing (and crying) as you find out what it’s really like to live a life out of control.

Whether you suspect you might have ADHD or you’re just here for the ride, let Anders and Shaparak take you on a journey of self-discovery where you just might learn something useful about yourself too!
