About this listen
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. For example, dyslexic adults routinely outperform their non-dyslexic peers in studies on three-dimensional spatial reasoning and divergent creativity. Approximately twenty percent of the US population has dyslexia, and The Dyslexic Advantage shows how each one is predisposed to powerful skills called MIND strengths (Material, Interconnected, Narrative, and Dynamic Reasoning), leading them to possess incredible pattern detection, divergent thinking, episodic memory, problem solving, and prediction abilities.
The revised and updated edition of The Dyslexic Advantage includes eighteen rich new profiles of remarkable individuals with dyslexia. Blending personal stories with hard science, this book provides empowering advice on how to identify, understand, nurture, and enjoy the strengths of the dyslexic mind.

Life Changing Book!
Before I read this book my self-confidence was at an all-time low and my impostor syndrome was unbearable. The stigma from dyslexia made me feel lesser than others even though I've created multiple businesses, sold one of them, and built my home with my dyslexic brother all before I was 30.
I always thought I was successful in spite of my dyslexia. Now I understand the root of my success is my dyslexic brain! What a paradigm shift!
This book has changed my life and I am forever grateful to Fernette and Brock Eide and the Dyslexic Advantage team. Thank you for all that you've done for dyslexia and neurodiversity!
