Dr. Douglas Brackmann has spent his life chasing the answer to one question: why do some people feel different â restless, intense, never satisfied â yet capable of extraordinary things? That quest led him to create Driven, a breakthrough framework for understanding the genetic wiring behind the worldâs top achievers. A licensed psychologist and performance coach to elite entrepreneurs, athletes, and military professionals, Dr. Doug believes that what many call neurodivergence is often a hidden superpower â the very trait that fuels innovation, courage, and world-changing performance. He teaches how to stop battling your inner restlessness and instead use it as your greatest advantage.
