This book is a must read (or listen) if you are dyslexic or know someone that is. Ron Davis, a dyslexic himself, explains dyslexia and how you can learn to overcome reading difficulties.

Davis explains that dyslexia is a gift and why some of the most famous and influential people (Einstein, Edison, da Vinci the list goes on and on) have been dyslexic. It is not a coincidence that these successful people were dyslexic, rather they were able to use their gift.

After reading this book, you will understand dyslexia is truly gift!

Good thoughts terrible audio

The story line is interesting and appealing but the audio quality is awful and references pages throughout the recording for reference.

Great Book - Bad Recording

The sound quality of this audio book is horrible. The book itself is fantastic, but the sound quality definetly leaves something to be desired.

Very informative

My son was just diagnosed with dyslexia.. I have listened fo this book over and over. Every time I re play it I learn something new. It is a lot to take in all at once. My son also listens to it every morning. It has changed the way we now communicate. He says "yes exactly that's how it is." So knowing and hearing it explains how he feels made him feel so much better. This book has given my son more self-confidence. And me a peace of mind and knowledge..

Changed my life......

I always carry a copy of this book in case I meet someone it can help.
I was always told I had a disability, but I knew my brain worked a little differently.
I felt lost until I found this book.
Every page resonated with me as it taught me to master my ability

Never heard of this...wonderful new hope

My son is an adult and struggles with reading. I hope this gives him the help to open many doors for him.

Legit Knowledge!

Father of a dyslexic. Son of a dyslexic. Am dyslexic myself.

This man knows and says what is happening in a way that gave me insight into my brain but more importantly how to see what’s in my kids brain.

In truth, I listened as I’ve learned that reading…I can’t comprehend but audiobooks are the jam and I can “read” while I do productive things or play solitaire or blackjack…can y’all readers multitask while you read haha. Reading while driving is not dangerous when there is no book or words.

Lastly. Please, to those born with a slow brain:)
Use correct punctuation. Spell correctly. It’s y’all’s letter system so please use it correctly or don’t get frustrated when the fast brains don’t understand what was so easy for the rest. We don’t have time to learn from those being lazy. We couldn’t be lazy sitting in all those English classes, and the math class that some slow brain added letters to the math (thanks for that math), that y’all aced so now do that nerd stuff you do in real life:)
The English class with the loudly ticking clock. Loud ass teacher shoes in the hallway. Candy wrappers. Lights buzzing. Doors shutting. Announcements. Nonstop distractions on top of teachers telling me not to bounce my legs…I needed that bounce and now I know why.

This book means a lot! Clarity is strength.
Thanks to the author from my heart. Can’t put in words the power this book is for me and for my kid.

Tools for my daughter and ME

This book was recommended to me as I have been looking for ways to help my daughter who shows many signs of dyslexia. After listening to this book, I realize that I may have inadvertently overcome dyslexia myself. But utilizing the tools in this book should help me even further. I am very excited for myself and for my daughter :-)

I am 28 , I cried the first 3 chapters.

now, 2 hours in I write my review to describe how mind blowing it is. I've gone most my life not even knowing I was dyslexic only becoming aware maybe 2 years ago. this is the biggest step I've taken twords understanding it, which it terms brings awareness and understanding of myself. It explains the foundation of my thought process in such a way that is organized enough to recognize it.

I value that the author is reading his own work. I find it relatively ironic, funny and also endearing that while discussing stimulation and distraction you can hear low frequency repetitive beats initially thought it was music but I am uncertain it seems to be masked by some software noise cancelation.

it doesn't happen often and I am more the content with the recording but I found the irony poetic.

thank you for this knowledge.
