5.0 out of 5 stars
Extraordinarily useful,
By "robert21750" (New Orleans, LA, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healing Add: Simple Exercises That Will Change Your Daily Life (Paperback)
This is a marvelous book. It's readable, full of real-world, useful systems and techniques to heal from the woundings of growing up with ADHD. This is *not* the book that recommends shooting up kids with expensive, radioactive, cancer-causing substances to "scan" their brains: that's a later book by (oddly coincidentally) the same title. Instead, this book by groundbreaking author Hartmann provides practical, solid, and effective ways to resolve old wounds, set goals, enhance communication, and understand ADD/ADHD in a meaningful and useful and effective way. You'll hear its story, see the results immediately, and feel better for having read it. It's useful for parents, friends, spouses, therapists, and even for self-help - things you can do yourself, for yourself. I've used it, my wife has, and we've used it's techniques - particuarly those in the last chapter on family communication - with our family, with great results. Five stars - this is one of the best books in the market on ADD/ADHD and what you really can do about it!

An extraordinary view of NLP applied to ADHD,
By A Customer
This review is from: Healing Add: Simple Exercises That Will Change Your Daily Life (Paperback)
This remarkable book not only offers one of the most cogent insights into ADHD (see the earlier long review a few back), and does address "attention" at length (in fact, it's all about how we attend, and to what, and in what ways), but it's also one of the best introductions to the use of NLP as a way of healing from the damage of growing up a Hunter in a Farmer's world. Filled with practical, real-world exercises and techniques, Healing ADD (this is the first book with that title) really is about healing - coming to terms with what ADHD means in this world, learning new ways to function and position yourself in the world, and recovering from the traumas that virtually every person with ADHD who was subjected to public school carries. This is a powerful book, with specific tools and techniques, an extensive discussion of how the ADHD attentional mechanism is different and unique for ADHD people, and one of the best introductions to NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP) available, ADHD-context or not. Highly recommended, whether you've read the author's other books or not!

Makes you think about your... thinking!,
By Melanie (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healing Add: Simple Exercises That Will Change Your Daily Life (Paperback)
This book really gets into YOUR experience of your thought processes and tells you how to correct the snags. For example: Are you always late? Close your eyes and take a look at how you visualize your personal time-line. Stretch your arms out using your right arm for the future and your left for your past. Open your eyes and take note of where each arm points. Your right-futrure arm should be pointing slightly up and slightly forward, to your right. Your left-past arm should be pointing slightly down and slightly behind you, to your left. If this is not the case adjust your arms and rearrange your visualization to these new angles. The book gets into the symbolism and dicusses it in detail.I recommend this book to people with or without ADD. It really helps clear up some cloudy thinking that all of us have developed toward many, or just a few, of our daily habits.
