Course Description

ADD and ADHD can make it hard to focus & get things done. You have lots of mental energy (that's why you're so smart!) but you have a hard time directing it to one thing at a time. Many people go through their entire lives in this scatter-brained state, jumping from thing to thing, never fully concentrating on, or actually enjoying, anything. This can lead to major school & career problems (not paying attention in class, not paying attention at work, not caring about what you're working on, bouncing from job to job, career to career, etc), and problems becoming a successful adult.

For some handicaps, there is simply no cure, no way out. Thankfully, ADD/ADHD is NOT one of those handicaps. ADD & ADHD can actually be a blessing in disguise, if you learn how to channel your mental energy, to focus it, to make it like a laser. This is called hyperfocusing, and it is a superpower unique to ADD/ADHD people!

You may have noticed that while you sometimes can't focus on anything at all, sometimes you can get extremely zoned in to one thing (like these words, for example). And oftentimes (for some of us, more often than not), the thing that you're zoned into is the wrong thing. For example, my first year in college I got so sucked into social media that I barely went outside and met actual friends. Sometimes this still happens to me, if I pick up my phone right when I wake up and click on a social media notification before I start meditating for the day. Social media platforms are designed to suck you in -- that's how they make money. That's bad news for ADD / ADHD people. And there are tons of other useless, unproductive, time-wasting things that can suck in your attention, if you don't learn how to control your hyperfocus.

The good news is that you can learn how to control your hyperfocus, and use it to supercharge your life by focusing on the things you actually want to be focused on! It's not easy, but it is actually very simple. The answer can be written in just ten letters: MEDITATION.

Meditation is the single most important key to controlling your hyperfocus, focusing on what you want to focus on, and moving your attention to the things that you want it to be on. Meditation is not some woo-woo magical thing... it's literally just training your brain to focus. That's literally what meditation IS. It's a practice of bringing your mind into the present moment, and focusing it on one thing at a time. This practice strengthens the parts of your brain that are responsible for regulating your attention. Just like lifting weights builds muscles in your body, practicing meditation builds neural connections in your brain (it's a process called neuroplasticity -- look it up!). Just like your muscles get bigger from lifting weights, your brain gets bigger by practicing meditation! And just like you can focus your exercise on strengthening a particular part of your body (arms, legs, chest, etc), you can focus your meditation on strengthening a particular part of your mind (deep focus, broad focus, generating joy, love, happiness, etc).

Many of the world's most successful entrepreneurs, futurists, inventors, and celebrities are people who have learned to direct their ADHD energy and control their innate powers of hyperfocus. In this course, we will use meditation to do that, and more -- to become more focused, successful, stable, joyful, energized, and just plain happier in life!

By the end of this course, you will be experienced with five different meditation techniques, which you can practice in daily life:

- breathwork

- mindfulness

- mindfulness of breathing

- concentrating on a physical object, and

- concentrating on an activity,

You'll be equipped with the tools you need to become the best version of yourself, and transform your ADD/ADHD from a handicap into a superpower!

The skills you'll learn in this course will be worth 1000x more than the price of the course. Not only will this course save you money on ADD/ADHD drugs like Adderall & Ritalin, and help you make tens, hundreds, or thousands of times more successful in life than you would have been without being able to control your superpowers of hyperfocus, the meditations you learn in this course will make you immeasurably happier, over the course of your lifetime. And that's kind of the point of this whole "life" thing anyway, isn't it? What's $50 in comparison to a lifetime of sustainable happiness?

Kevin Ellerton

Hi, I'm Kevin! When I was in college, I was anxious and depressed. I was smoking a lot of weed, addicted to video games, taking a lot of psychedelics, waking up around 2pm every day. I was going out of my mind. Thankfully, a friend introduced me to meditation, and it gave me my life back.

Since then, I've traveled the world, lived in ashrams & monasteries from India to California to Thailand and Indonesia, built several successful companies from the ground up, made (and lost!) millions of dollars, started meditation programs in universities and hospitals, written & published meditation books, created Meditation Magazine, married an amazing woman, and just generally become happier than I've ever been in my life.

Of all my projects, I am proudest of Meditation Magazine, which is currently on shelves in thousands of stores in 20+ countries around the world, including Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, and many more.

For two months, my daily routine has begun with two meditations, the first and the third. This practice has been transformative for me. Immediately after meditating, I feel a sense of focus and clarity of mind for the whole day, and I write down the things I want to accomplish today. Thank you, Kevin, from the bottom of my heart!

For the most part, the course is good, but he does explain how to use HyperFocus and did not respond to my question about it.

By Bright Yao Katako on 6/22/2023

I loved how the instructor takes you through all three forms of Meditation and combines them into one. Again you feel the results once you do the exercises and the process is action oriented. To get the full benefit of the course you must do all the exercises accordingly and they are not hard to do. This course requires that you take action.

I haven't yet seen the techniques of meditation, but I like this guy, he looks smart :) One piece of advice: Please don't use Elon Musk as an example of a successful person with ADHD. He's terrible.

By S W on 2/13/2022

Short and sweet course with some potentially very useful tips and techniques to help you control your mind and focus. Even if it doesn't really help you with your ADD/ADHD, at the very least it'll help with calming you down and feeling more tranquil. I'll update my review at the end of the year (and will likely increase the rating depending on how beneficial it has been).

By Shivani Priya on 8/22/2021

Hi! My Name is Shivani Priya. I am from India. I was going through your videos and I must say your videos are amazing. The best thing is that you explained everything in a calm tone. I have some intrest in trarrot card reading also,so if you have any courses related to that let me know. The best thing is I feel very happy after meditating.

By Cameron Robertson on 3/12/2021

Great course, I found it more insightful and useful than other meditation apps I’ve used before. Most likely because it addresses specific issues that those with ADHD like myself struggle with. Still need to build this into a fully consistent daily practise but this has been a milestone for me in my journey of learning to deepen my focus.

By Leandro Campero on 2/18/2021

Build a meditation practice is what I need more than anything. And this course taught me how to do it. Kevin sure knows the problems of having ADHD and in every lesson you'll learn more about it and how to use it in your favor. I highly recommend this course.

By Ellen Weiler on 1/9/2021

I have ADHD with the inattentive type as a main trait and as a person who already has some primary experience with mindfulness exercises I found that course really interesting. It gave me some new insights and directions I want to focus on from now on. Sometimes I had a bit of trouble focussing on the content (monotonous voice, repetition of things) and the breathwork was a bit scary for me. Apart from that I really learnt something and can recommend the course.

By John R Martin on 7/23/2020

I have a mind that wanders and find it hard to focus but easy to procrastinate. Procrastination brings a sense of urgency that I need to complete tasks that I don't really want to do.
