HN people offer it as practical focus and ADHD advice from a credentialed neuroscientist, though some treat it as only a reference.
Andrew Huberman discusses ADHD, its biology and myths, behavioral and pharmacologic treatments, and training protocols to improve focus for people with or without ADHD. It covers dopamine and the coordination of brain networks.
