Product Description

Review

Edward M. Hallowell, M.D.

Harvard Medical School, coauthor of "Driven to Distraction"

Refreshing, engaging, humorous and true. The title alone makes this a book to remember...Should help anyone affected by ADD.



Product Description

There is much literature about children with Attention Deficit Disorder. This work focuses on the experience of adults with the disorder, combining practical information and moral support. It explains the diagnostic process and distinguishes ADD symptions from normal lapses in memory, lack of concentrations, and impulse behaviour, and addresses: how to achieve balance by analyzing one's strengths and weaknesses; how to get along in groups, at work, and intimate and family relationships - including how to decrease discord and chaos; mechanical aides and methods for getting organized and improving memory; and professional help, including medication and therapy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow what a new leash on life!!!, Mar 13 2004
By Angela Troester "Moma to 4 boys" (strawberry point, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Oh my God what a book. I was shocked to learn that I have many abilites and not disabilites. I now have a positive outlook on ADD. This book has changed my life and I came back to Amazon to order 4 more for some of my freinds that struggle with ADD. I now can have my sons teachers read this and they will finnally understand my sons. I am so moved by this book and if you have ADD or know someone who does you should order this book today. I have read other ADD books but this is HANDS DOWN THE BEST EVER!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank God--I thought it was just me!, Jun 7 2004
By A Customer
Finally, someone has written a book on this. For the longest I just thought I really had something mentally wrong with me, but after reading this, I don't feel like I'm the only one in the world that can't concentrate on things or that has trouble getting started. If only we (as a society) had known this stuff ten, twenty years ago when a lot of us were in school, we could have been saved a lot of heartache. And saved our parents and teachers a lot of suffering and frustration also. There are a few books out there now even on this and other types of "disorders." One that comes to mind is "The Curious Incident" which is told from the point of view of an autistic teenager. Another is "The Bark of the Dogwood" where the main character either suffers from DID, ADD, BPD, or Aspergers (or any combination thereof). But as far as self-helps, this one takes the cake. The good news is this: We now know what is "wrong" with us. The bad news? We now have to get others to believe it.

3.0 out of 5 stars my opinion, Jul 8 2004
By A Customer
the first one I read along with "driven by distraction".the fact that the authors have ADD too is kind of conforting.they tell about their long struggle to finding proper back up and treatment,It is written in a fun way with illustrations.After reading I finally took an appointment with a psy specialized an ADD ,just to be sure I was not self-diagnosing wrongly.
