Here’s what Tracy covers:

  • Do those with ADHD really have a preference for non-fiction?
  • What are the reasons that might be so?
  • If you struggle with reading non-fiction books you might be interested in this hack to actually finish them
  • This feeling that many of us have that there’s never enough time to learn about everything we’re interested in
  • The character strengths that so many of us share which is apparent in our love of non-fiction books.
  • How non-fiction books help us to make connections and generate new ideas
