ADD is Uplifting

This book lays out the trepidations and benefits for those people with ADD and is a valuable text for those living with people with an electric mind. I think of ADD as a product of our society that became noticed, studied and mapped over the last 10 yrs. Hence, the increase in number of diagnosis. Hollowell clearly points out that ADD has been around for a long time and gives the primary reasons. I would have liked to see other studies done outside of north america to support some of his conclusions.

This book contains excellent technical/physiological explanations and provides a background into how you harness the ADD mind to improve your life and relationships. Although many people without ADD have some of the same symptoms; making piles, procrastinating, self-medicating etc, one has to sort through those and make certain they get a professional diagnosis before going too far. Read it slowly and mark the margins. The resource appendices are also a valuable tool for seeking help or learning more about ADD.

WOW!!! Right on the Money!

Delivered from Distraction
By Edward M. Hallowell, M.D. and John J. Ratey

Delivered from Distractions may well be the best general book on ADHD to come out in the last five years. This is a groundbreaking book in terms of the balanced view it presents. The authors clearly demonstrate how ADHD can be a debilitating and serious condition but also convincingly argue that there are many gifts associated with what they refer to as ADD trait. This well structured book addresses ADHD across the lifespan and provides insights that will inspire readers into actively learning how to better manage their ADHD and tap into their unique gifts and abilities. This book is definitely not your typical medical model fair, yet is still very mainstream and respectable.

Oh by the way both authors are also diagnosed with ADHD themselves, and I suspect this is why they have such a balanced and positive "beyond just a disorder view".

This is what I would call a first-tier book; one that everyone should have. So if you are only planning to buy one book on ADHD, this one would be an excellent choice. In fact, I liked it so much I have it in three separate formats; hardcover, abridged audio, unabridged audio. Yes it is that good!

Great informational ADD book

I purchased this book after hearing the author speak at a conference. He gives such a positive view on ADD. The book itself is well written especially for individuals with ADD. It has a summary chapter with other chapters that expand on topics. It is a great resource for teachers & parents with children with ADD and also adults with ADD.

WOW!!

I am a 41 year old woman.. stay home Mom with four kids. I have been incredibly disorganized and frustrated for many years and was recently diagnosed with Adult ADD. I decided to do some research to learn more about natural cures and basic understanding of this condition.. and this book has been awesome!! I have already changed things in my life.. from the ideas in the book.. I would say this is a MUST READ for anyone diagnosed with ADD or with a child with ADD... AWESOME BOOK!!
