Overview

What if ADHD isn't a disorder to be fixed, but a signal system to be understood? In Beyond the Edge of Chaos: ADHD, Identity, and the New Science of Thriving, Dr. Jon Thomas reframes ADHD as a difference in how the brain manages attention, emotion, and motivation. Drawing on neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and decades of counseling experience, he introduces a practical roadmap for self-awareness and growth. This groundbreaking guide helps readers: - Recognize the signals that shape focus, energy, and emotion - Avoid the burnout cycles that sabotage motivation and confidence - Build systems that fit the brain instead of fighting against it - Transform overwhelm into purpose through tools like the Success Curve, Stress Wagon, and Signal Compass Structured in two parts, the book first guides individuals with ADHD to understand and apply these tools in daily life, then turns to parents, educators, coaches, and professionals with strategies to support and empower others. Whether you're a student, parent, professional, or coach, Beyond the Edge of Chaos helps you see ADHD not as a problem to manage, but as a pattern to decode-a pathway toward clarity, creativity, and authentic thriving.
