ADHD, Awareness, and Inattentional Blindness

Attention and perception define our experience in life.  They also define what we are and are not aware of. Question is… how aware are you of being unaware?  Many researchers and professionals believe awareness or self-awareness is the key for those with ADHD to manage it.  ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper believes the first step to managing awareness is to understand how unaware we really are because of “inattentional” blindness.  In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Dr. Daniel Simons (www.dansimons.com), psychologist and co-author of The Invisible Gorilla, a book that will open your mind to visual awareness.  Dan is an expert in visual perception and attention and has mastered the art of putting people in an experience for them to witness how blind they are to the blinding flash of the obvious.  If you have ADHD and want to more effectively manage your awareness, join us and learn just how unaware most of us really are.
