Worry

Ballantine Books, 1998

Help for the common man and woman
I picked up Dr. Hallowell's book about three years ago. I was in a horrible job with a demanding and verbally abusive boss and thought I had died and gone to Hell. On more than one occasion I seriously considered driving my car into a tree just to avoid having to go to work another miserable day. I was in counseling with a psychologist at the time who, though quite a funny guy, was of no help to ...

The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness: Five Steps to Help Kids Create and Sustain Lifelong Joy

I wonder what he says about video games
I haven't read the book, so I'll use a 5-star review like everyone else just to not slant the outcome. But I wonder what he says about video games. They are a form of play but in my mind don't enforce a human connection. And I've been hearing stories lately (on NPR etc.) about people who can't get their adult kids to be productive members of society because they just want to play video games.

Attention Deficit Disorder : A Different Perception

38 reviews
Thom Hartmann, Edward M. Hallowell (Introduction), ...

Underwood Books, 1997

Hartmann and Drugs
Hartmann is a successful multitasker: not only does he write popular books on ADD/ADHD, he has published numerous books of poetry, has opened four hospitals in Third World countries, and so on. His point is that ADD/ADHD is a curse if it is not channeled properly, but can be a great blessing, and an enormous goad (and even key) to success if the "sufferer" learns to handle it, learns to cope with ...

This book saved my 1st semester @ Grad School!!
I had leafed through this book one day in the library and it looked interesting. So, I bought one and I keep it with me always! I use it like a reference book. I found the chapters on reading and writing for people with learning disabilities the best. Once I started using the techniques, I saved my semester and my Grad School career! I was on academic probation and had to pass all classes ...

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 ...

Pocket, 2001

treasure
As I reached the last 50 pages I found myself putting the book down, sometimes for a day or two, because I didn't want it to end. It reads easily, but the lessons are profound and the truths are palpable. I plan to give copies to my grown children to add to Man's Search for Meaning and The Art of Loving as essential texts for a well-lived life. Connect invites us to live life in the richest, ...

From one mom to another
My 3rd grade son was just diagnosed with auditory processing disorder and I found this book to be informative and a pleasure to read. My son's condition isn't as severe as the author's son's; however, I could identify with her frustrations before the diagnosis. The author brought up 2 new treatment strategies that I was unaware of-Fast ForWord and Earobics. I have already recommended this book ...

Excellent easy-to-read book about how various, successful people have managed their diagnosis of ADD.

In the AA program, alcoholics share their stories of experience, strength, and hope. This book passes on the experience, strength, and hope of real ...

Dare To Forgive

HCI, 2004

Demystifying Forgiveness
Ned Hallowell's gift is his ability to find, in the universal truths of human nature and behavior, those constructs that lie at the core of mental, emotional, and relational fulfillment. He always seems to know what's eating away at us, what's standing in the way of our hope and happiness. Those who have been fans of Dr. Hallowell's for years will recognize this in his books, Connect, Worry, and ...

Overloaded Circuits: Why Smart People Underperform (HBR OnPoint Enhanced Edition)

Harvard Business Review, 2005

Maximize employee performance
I didn't create my Fortune 500 company from scratch by mollycoddling my managers, and I sure as rain didn't oversee double-digit revenue growth five years running by catering to weakness. HR always gets complaints that I drive the employees too hard, but I never paid much attention to the whiners and complainers until that horrible day one of my most loyal workers snapped and very nearly blew my ...

Human Moments: How to Find Meaning and Love in Your Everyday Life

Edward Hallowell M.D.

HCI, 2001

A Prescription for Health
In Dr. Ned Hallowell's last book, "Connect," he emphasized the importance of "connectedness" to physical, emotional, and mental health. These connections can be with family, friends, colleagues, animals, art, music, ritual, faith, nature, or even history -- and people who have such connections live longer, stay healthier, and find greater enjoyment in their lives and relationships. Dr. ...

When You Worry About the Child You Love

Edward M., M.D. Hallowell

Fireside, 1997

Objective and information packed resource
This was the first book of it's kind that I've read that didn't "take sides" on this controversial issue. Everything else I've read either focused entirely on the biochemical aspects of psychiatric disorders, and recommended the use of medication, or took the opposite stance that medication for such things is bad, and puts our children at a disadvantage so that life will be easier for parents ...

Crazy Busy
Dr. Hallowell has reminded us what we already know...that doing the most IMPORTANT things is what makes life worth living. HOW we invest our time day-by-day determines our level of happiness with how we invest our time. In my business I see a lot of people doing what's second, instead of doing what's first on their list. REad thsi book and help yourself get re-focused...and then enjoy!

Dare to Forgive: The Power of Letting Go and Moving On

HCI, 2006

wonderful book
I find it surprising that no one has reviewed this book yet. I picked this up while I was on vacation, and of course I had numerous past wrongs that were stewing in the back of my mind (as we all do). This book is down to earth and written in an easy style. I thought I could never forgive some people that had wronged me "based on principle" and that I was not "a forgiving person". This book ...

Understanding Attention Deficit Disorder and Addiction: Workbook

1 review
Edward M. Hallowell, John J. Ratey

Hazelden, 1995

A Fairly Thorough Yet Basic Workbook
This book offers some basic information on ADD/ADHD and substance abuse. It makes use of some slightly vague Socratic Method questioning in hopes of guiding the reader to some entry level awareness, insight & resolution. This is a great starter for clients just beginning to grapple with the reality and impact of these issues on their lives.
