About the book
Forget everything you’ve been told about ADHD as a disorder. The ADHD Soul presents a radical thought experiment grounded in physics: energy never dies, consciousness is energy, and your neurodivergent brain carries forward specialized awareness shaped by 250,000 years of human evolution.
Drawing from the law of conservation of energy, this book explores a startling possibility—what if consciousness operates like a finite resource pool that gets diluted as population grows? What if the traits we medicalize today were essential survival tools that kept ancient tribes alive?
The Consciousness Pool Theory
Picture humanity’s collective consciousness as a giant bowl of water. Thousands of years ago, when populations numbered in thousands rather than billions, each person received a deep, concentrated portion of awareness. Now, with eight billion people sharing that same pool, most receive only diluted consciousness—enough to function but not enough to truly thrive.
But some minds retained stronger concentrations. The hunters with restless energy who scouted dangerous territories. The builders whose obsessive precision created shelters that lasted. The keepers whose perfect memory preserved tribal wisdom. The specialists whose intense focus solved impossible problems.
You might be carrying one of these ancient patterns.
The Eternal Cycle
This book traces a disturbing pattern through human history: civilizations rise when consciousness is concentrated, then collapse as population growth dilutes awareness beyond sustainable levels. The specialists die trying to maintain complex systems while “placeholder souls” survive by hiding, ensuring the cycle repeats.
We may be witnessing this pattern unfold again in real time.
Why This Matters Now
Jeremy Criddle combines his experience living with ADHD, ultramarathon discipline, and web developer’s analytical precision to create a framework that explains why some minds burn differently. This isn’t self-help—it’s a new lens for understanding consciousness, evolution, and your place in humanity’s larger story.
