    About this audiobook

    Dyslexia is almost always assumed to be an obstacle. And for one in five people who are dyslexic, it can be. Yet for millions of successful dyslexics-including astrophysicists, mystery novelists, and entrepreneurs-their dyslexic differences are the key to their success.



    In this paradigm-shifting book, neurolearning experts Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide describe exciting new brain science revealing that dyslexic people have unique brain structure and organization. While the differences are responsible for certain challenges with literacy and reading, the dyslexic brain also gives a predisposition to important skills and special talents.



    While dyslexics typically struggle to decode the written word, they often also excel in areas such as mechanical reasoning (required for architects and surgeons); interconnected reasoning (artists and inventors); narrative reasoning (novelists and lawyers); and dynamic reasoning (scientists and business pioneers).



    With much-needed prescriptive advice for parents, educators, and dyslexics, The Dyslexic Advantage provides the first complete portrait of dyslexia. Supporting their claims with groundbreaking science and interviews with successful dyslexics and innovative teachers, the authors of this essential book show how the unique strengths of dyslexia can be captured for success at home, at school, and at work.

      The second book I've read in my research on dyslexia. I felt it was much more grounded than the first. I think this book is helpful to people with dyslexia and very encouraging. For non-dyslexic people, it's a good book for understanding just how incredible people with dyslexia are. We know we are all different, but often it's an idea we pay lip service to while ignoring it. This book explains how dyslexic people are different and what advantages that provides to them. The book is laid out into several parts, each with a consistent chapter layout, particularly for the MIND parts. It's got great resources in the appendix as well.
    • 5/5
      This book is enlightening. It brings out the positive side of thinking differently.
    • 5/5
      This book is packed with insights, the main one being that dyslexia is a different way of processing rather than an inferior one. People wired with longer, more loosely packed brain connections connect disparate points and observations. While they don’t process details as well as others, they gain advantages in seeing patterns and making creative connections. Absent the criteria for a standardized level of rote, detailed processing, dyslexia becomes a different processing style rather than a disability. This different processing style can be leveraged to great advantage, as exemplified in such successful people as John Lennon, Charles Schwab, and Richard Branson.
