Mindfulness for Beginners8 reviews
Jon Kabat-Zinn

Sounds True, 2006

This is a very good CD.
I bought this CD at the recommendation of a social worker. I'm a perfectionist, which frequently leads me to experience anxiety. I've lived this way for 50+ years but it's not healthy. However, it has been the norm for my life. Yes, I've done some counseling over the years, which has been extremely helpful but I constantly battle with trying to do too much, making it all perfect and then ...

Daniel G. Amen

Berkley Trade, 2002

With Understanding, There Can Be Hope, Even with ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, ADHD, runs in my family somewhat. In my wife's family it can be a run away train. For me, it's one of those things that can mess your life up, if you let it. However, in my case, it was only after I was 46 that I realized that I had it, and that was told to me by a caring friend. In this book, Dr. Amen tells of how he got into the practice of ...

Edward M. Hallowell, John J. Ratey

Touchstone, 1995

Mr Barrett
I have two nephews with ADD/ADHD and possibly more undiagnosed relatives which made me curious that maybe I had ADD/ADHD. I read this book and I really related to a lot of the stories and it gave me hope that there could be help for me. I wasn't really a problem student, just got in trouble often and had problems reading but I excelled at math and science (although teachers said I was an ...

ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life79 reviews
Judith Kolberg, Kathleen Nadeau

Routledge, 2002

The top organization book for ADD
I bought over 10 books on ADD and organizing, and only kept two: this one and 10 Simple Solutions to Adult ADD. This book's format and prose was written with ADD readers in mind, and the solutions are spot-on. Other books had overly simplistic or complicated ideas that seemed absurd or impossible. This book's ideas are very specific to the way an ADDer's brain works. I refer to it time and ...

Nancy A. Ratey

St. Martin's Press, 2008

Not Just Another 5-Star Book on ADHD
Nancy's book is a quick and easy read without being shallow or overly simple. It shows both how and why (self-)coaching can help an adult with ADHD come closer to realizing their full potential. It is hopeful and realistic with a plethora of concrete tips and strategies. Along the way it subtly but surely gives a good overview of daily life with ADHD. It even does the seemingly-impossible: It ... 		  
  







  
  
Guided Mindfulness Meditation (Guided Mindfulness)20 reviews
Jon Kabat-Zinn

Sounds True, 2005

Great benefits and EASY to follow instructions.
The CD set exceeded my expectations for ease of use. They are much easier to follow than I anticipated. The mediations are simple and completely agnostic, and therefore should be non-offensive to any religious orientation. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a way to improve their mental and physical health in an extremely enjoyable and accessible manner!

American Psychological Association (APA), 2004

Great information and ideas for parents of kids with ADHD

Transforming the Difficult Child80 reviews
Howard Glasser, Jennifer Easley

Nurtured Heart Publications, 1999

Therapist on your nightstand!
I thought I knew a lot about 'parenting' until I became one! I have one easy-going child that makes parenting seems like a breeze and one who is so wired and always pushing limits so far that I didn't like the person I was becoming. I was VERY frustrated and came across this book. I hate labeling so I don't like the title much, and carrying it around I wanted to put a darn book cover on it so ...

ADHD & Me: What I Learned from Lighting Fires at the Dinner Table15 reviews
Blake E. S. Taylor

New Harbinger Publications, 2008

Special Gifts for ADHD people!
Blake.E.S.Taylor is such a sophisticated young man, isn't he? I wasn't smart enough to tell you my ADHD logically based on my experiences when I was his age, and I am still not! And most of the symptoms written in his book are quite similar to my childhood. I could have clearly shown you the strategies not only on ADHD but also developmental disabilities like him if I had been diagnosed with ADHD ...

John F. Taylor

Free Spirit Publishing, 2006

cool
I found this to also be a very interesting book. I am glad I had the time to read this book. The author seems to know a lot about the disability(s)these kids have. I think a lot of kids should read this book. I hope the more books I read are just like this one.

Not just for ADHD - for ANY kid with focusing and organizational issues
My 10 yo has mild autism, and he has major organizational and focusing issues. This book explains in very clear terms the challenges that face some kids, and steps that can be taken to minimize those challenges. I love the checklist in part 1, because it highlighted some things even for me that I didn't realize my son needed help with. It helped give my son the language to discuss exactly ...
