In Dyslexic Design Thinking, Gil Gershoni shows how a misunderstood condition affecting as many as 1 in 10 Americans offers heightened advantages, what he calls his “hyper-ability.” Using his experiences as a creative director as a lens, Gil shares how he transformed a perceived weakness into a strength and how neurodiversity helps his teams collaborate, ideate and innovate.
