Attention Seeker
€ 21.25
ISBN: 9780349704142
What does it mean to live in a world that punishes distraction, but profits from our attention?
Why do so many ADHD individuals not feel at home at school or in the workplace? What does it really feel like to grow up, learn, work and exist in a world that wasn't built for your brain?
Why are so many of us struggling with shame, burnout and - statistically speaking - a suspicious number of parking tickets?
Attention Seeker is a groundbreaking, unfiltered exploration of ADHD - how it shapes lives across race, gender, and class, and why so many people are left undiagnosed and misunderstood.
Drawing on research, lived experience and the realities of navigating ADHD in the UK today, Medland cuts through the myths and misinformation to uncover the truth. From education to employment, addiction to the criminal justice system, Attention Seeker reveals how ADHD intersects with power, privilege and oppression - and what needs to change.
Ending with a bold anti-capitalist manifesto, Medland challenges everything we think we know about ADHD. The book asks: in a society obsessed with productivity and perfection, what can everyone learn from those who think differently?
Attention Seeker is the first book of its kind. Equal parts eye-opening, urgent and authoritative, this is a call to rethink ADHD, not just as an individual diagnosis, but as a political issue.
