Publisher's Synopsis
40 per cent of self-made millionaires are dyslexic. Dyslexia does not equal stupidity. For many, it's a superpower. Think Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, Steven Spielberg and Sir Richard Branson. The Dyslexic Edge challenges the narrative that views dyslexia as a deficit or impediment to success, presenting compelling research to demonstrate quite the opposite. By delving into the lives and experiences of some of the best-known dyslexic minds worldwide, Jamie Waller and Dr Helen Taylor highlight the distinct advantage that dyslexic thinking brings. From billionaires to budding visionaries, they provide an illuminating deep-dive into the mind and creativity of the dyslexic thinker and offer actionable insights to help the reader apply these frameworks to their own success. Dyslexic thinking is limitless. And, crucially, it can be implemented by anyone.
