Historia
Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide use their impressive backgrounds in neurology and education to debunk the standard deficit-based approach to dyslexia. People typically define "dyslexia" as a reading and spelling disorder. But through published research studies, clinical observations, and interviews with dyslexic individuals, the Eides prove that these challenges are not dyslexia's main features but are instead trade-offs resulting from a different pattern of brain organization and information processing that has powerful advantages.

Historia
More than thirty million people in the United States are dyslexic—a brain-based genetic trait, often labeled as a “learning disability” or “learning difference,” that makes interpreting text and reading difficult. Yet even though children with dyslexia may have trouble reading, they don’t have any problems learning; dyslexia has nothing to do with a lack of intellect.

The dyslexic brain has been a mystery to many and a source of understanding for only a few. When we look into the ways to identify dyslexia and all its accompanying ramifications, it’s nothing new that we will run into difficulties, some severe, some not so severe. Figuring out if you have dyslexia, what typifies those who have dyslexia, and what to expect in terms of personality, reading skills, and other related aspects, is a puzzle.

Dyslexia is a way for the brain to channel words, symbols, and letters into discernible thoughts. It's not just a disorder or handicap, something that teachers will be disappointed at and parents will be worried about. Over the years, all the dyslexic people I have met in my life have a knack for something other than reading and writing.

Now, most people have heard of ADHD and know someone who may have it. But lost in the discussion of both childhood and adult diagnosis of ADHD is the potential upside: Many hugely successful entrepreneurs and highly creative people attribute their achievements to ADHD. Also unknown to most are the recent research developments, including innovations that give a clearer understanding of the ADHD brain in action.

From ADHD and dyslexia to autism, the number of diagnosis categories listed by the American Psychiatric Association has tripled in the last fifty years. With so many affected, it is time to revisit our perceptions of people with disabilities. Psychologist and educator Thomas Armstrong illuminates a new understanding of neuropsychological disorders. He argues that if they are a part of the natural diversity of the human brain, they cannot simply be defined as illnesses. Armstrong explores the evolutionary advantages, special skills, and other positive dimensions of these conditions.

Historia
Should you really read to your baby? Can teaching a baby sign language boost IQ? Should you pipe classical music into the nursery? Dr. Jill Stamm translates the latest neuroscience findings into clear explanations and practical suggestions, demonstrating the importance of the simple ways you interact with your child every day. It isn't the right edutainment that nurtures an infant's brain. It is as simple as attention, bonding, and communication, and it's within every parent's ability to provide.

Alva Noë is one of a new breed - part philosopher, part cognitive scientist, part neuroscientist - who are radically altering the study of consciousness by asking difficult questions and pointing out obvious flaws in the current science. In Out of Our Heads, he restates and reexamines the problem of consciousness, and then proposes a startling solution: Do away with the 200-year-old paradigm that places consciousness within the confines of the brain.

Historia
No fictional character is more renowned for his powers of thought and observation than Sherlock Holmes. But is his extraordinary intellect merely a gift of fiction, or can we learn to cultivate these abilities ourselves, to improve our lives at work and at home? We can, says psychologist and journalist Maria Konnikova, and in Mastermind she shows us how. Beginning with the "brain attic", Konnikova unpacks the mental strategies that lead to clearer thinking and deeper insights.

Historia
In Mind in Motion, psychologist Barbara Tversky shows that spatial cognition isn't just a peripheral aspect of thought, but its very foundation, enabling us to draw meaning from our bodies and their actions in the world. Our actions in real space get turned into mental actions on thought, often spouting spontaneously from our bodies as gestures. Spatial thinking underlies creating and using maps, assembling furniture, devising football strategies, designing airports, understanding the flow of people, traffic, water, and ideas.

Our thought lives have incredible power over our mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. In fact, our thoughts can either limit us to what we believe we can do or release us to experience abilities well beyond our expectations. When we choose a mindset that extends our abilities rather than placing limits on ourselves, we will experience greater intellectual satisfaction, emotional control, and physical health. The only question is... how?

Psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Norman Doidge, MD, traveled the country to meet both the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity and the people whose lives they've transformed - people whose mental limitations or brain damage were seen as unalterable.

Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide use their impressive backgrounds in neurology and education to debunk the standard deficit-based approach to dyslexia. People typically define "dyslexia" as a reading and spelling disorder. But through published research studies, clinical observations, and interviews with dyslexic individuals, the Eides prove that these challenges are not dyslexia's main features but are instead trade-offs resulting from a different pattern of brain organization and information processing that has powerful advantages.

More than thirty million people in the United States are dyslexic—a brain-based genetic trait, often labeled as a “learning disability” or “learning difference,” that makes interpreting text and reading difficult. Yet even though children with dyslexia may have trouble reading, they don’t have any problems learning; dyslexia has nothing to do with a lack of intellect.

Legit Knowledge!
Father of a dyslexic. Son of a dyslexic. Am dyslexic myself.
This man knows and says what is happening in a way that gave me insight into my brain but more importantly how to see what’s in my kids brain.
In truth, I listened as I’ve learned that reading…I can’t comprehend but audiobooks are the jam and I can “read” while I do productive things or play solitaire or blackjack…can y’all readers multitask while you read haha. Reading while driving is not dangerous when there is no book or words.
Lastly. Please, to those born with a slow brain:)
Use correct punctuation. Spell correctly. It’s y’all’s letter system so please use it correctly or don’t get frustrated when the fast brains don’t understand what was so easy for the rest. We don’t have time to learn from those being lazy. We couldn’t be lazy sitting in all those English classes, and the math class that some slow brain added letters to the math (thanks for that math), that y’all aced so now do that nerd stuff you do in real life:)
The English class with the loudly ticking clock. Loud ass teacher shoes in the hallway. Candy wrappers. Lights buzzing. Doors shutting. Announcements. Nonstop distractions on top of teachers telling me not to bounce my legs…I needed that bounce and now I know why.
This book means a lot! Clarity is strength.
Thanks to the author from my heart. Can’t put in words the power this book is for me and for my kid.

I always carry a copy of this book in case I meet someone it can help.
I was always told I had a disability, but I knew my brain worked a little differently.
I felt lost until I found this book.
Every page resonated with me as it taught me to master my ability

I am 28 , I cried the first 3 chapters.
now, 2 hours in I write my review to describe how mind blowing it is. I've gone most my life not even knowing I was dyslexic only becoming aware maybe 2 years ago. this is the biggest step I've taken twords understanding it, which it terms brings awareness and understanding of myself. It explains the foundation of my thought process in such a way that is organized enough to recognize it.
I value that the author is reading his own work. I find it relatively ironic, funny and also endearing that while discussing stimulation and distraction you can hear low frequency repetitive beats initially thought it was music but I am uncertain it seems to be masked by some software noise cancelation.
it doesn't happen often and I am more the content with the recording but I found the irony poetic.
thank you for this knowledge.

Very informative
My son was just diagnosed with dyslexia.. I have listened fo this book over and over. Every time I re play it I learn something new. It is a lot to take in all at once. My son also listens to it every morning. It has changed the way we now communicate. He says "yes exactly that's how it is." So knowing and hearing it explains how he feels made him feel so much better. This book has given my son more self-confidence. And me a peace of mind and knowledge..

Must Read!! Read This book NOW!
Where does The Gift of Dyslexia rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
If you are dyslexic or know someone that is this book could change your life.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Gift of Dyslexia?
If you are dyslexic you, this book will help you understand that you are gifted. Which is probably completely the opposite of what your teachers and the school system has taught you.
What three words best describe the narrators’s performance?
The narration could be better.
Any additional comments?
This book is a must read (or listen) if you are dyslexic or know someone that is. Ron Davis, a dyslexic himself, explains dyslexia and how you can learn to overcome reading difficulties.
Davis explains that dyslexia is a gift and why some of the most famous and influential people (Einstein, Edison, da Vinci the list goes on and on) have been dyslexic. It is not a coincidence that these successful people were dyslexic, rather they were able to use their gift.
After reading this book, you will understand dyslexia is truly gift!
