Burge sets up her book by explaining why she believes that ADD does not actually exist as a disorder; instead, some people are more intense in certain areas. Burge explains each of the intensities and then offers ways of positively cultivating that intensity, thus putting a positive spin on often negatively-viewed qualities. Burge helped me to see what we commonly label as ADD or ADHD in a different way. While this book is intended for people who believe they have intense personalities (or have struggled with being labeled as having this type of disorder), I gleaned some ideas for working with my students who struggle in school because they haven't quite fit the mold.
