Your Brain Is An Engine That Never Stops Running
Hypercuriosity reveals why some brains are wired for relentless exploration—and how to harness that power instead of being consumed by it.
You're Not Defective.
You're Mismatched.
You're brilliant at things that interest you and baffled by things that don't. You can dive deep into topics that fascinate you, but abandon projects when the novelty fades. You've been told you have "so much potential"—and spent years wondering why it never feels like enough.
Grounded in Neuroscience & Evolutionary Psychology
This book reframes the restless, novelty-seeking mind as something other than broken: an exploration-biased brain operating in an exploitation-biased world.
This isn't another productivity book.
- •The exploration-exploitation dilemma—and why your brain treats info like food
- •The chemistry of wonder—how dopamine drives your curiosity cascade
- •The invisible intersection—why ADHD and giftedness overlap
- •The executive tax—the real cost of managing a high-intensity brain
- •Practical strategies for surfing your attention instead of fighting it
"The first ADHD book that didn't make me feel like a problem to be fixed."
About The Author
Forager, Researcher, Collector of Obsessions
Diego A. Cortez Lopez is a writer, researcher, and lifelong collector of obsessions. Like many people with Hypercuriosity, he spent years wondering why a brain capable of deep focus on fascinating problems struggled so much with ordinary life.
That question led to years of research into neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and the intersection of giftedness and attention differences.
Hypercuriosity emerged from his attempt to understand his own mind—and to share that understanding with others living in the same paradox.
