A must if you are an adult suffering from ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). So say psychiatrists Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey, authors of the influential <i>Driven to Distraction</i>, published in 1994. In their new book, <i>Delivered from Distraction</i>, Hallowell and Ratey survey the current medical landscape concerning ADD, combining their own clinical observations with the latest research to paint a much more complex and, in many ways, positive picture of the condition than has generally been presented. <p> Hallowell and Ratey embrace the idea that success in life comes more from playing to your strengths than overcoming your weaknesses. In the case of a person with ADD (child or adult), these strengths often include unusually high levels of creativity, charisma, intelligence, and energy. The authors insist that, while medication and other treatments can sometimes work wonders in reducing limitations, surrounding yourself with people who promote these positive traits, be they in your personal or professional life, is the single most important element to living well with ADD. As both Hallowell and Ratey are not only experts in the field, but "ADDers" themselves, the tips and stories they share for how to do so are fresh, funny, and far more helpful than tired arguments over drugs verse no drugs or whether there's even such a thing as ADD at all.--<i>Patrick Jennings</i> 104648 27 12 2005 Delivered from Distraction: Getting the Most out of Life with Attention Deficit Disorder total:167|5:3|4:6|3:1|2:2|1:0| 167 676 275 44 108592 0345442318 9780345442314 157 42 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171588885m/108592.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/108592.Delivered_from_Distraction_Getting_the_Most_out_of_Life_with_Attention_Deficit_Disorder 4 1 false Tue Mar 04 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 03 07:52:59 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 04 18:47:01 -0800 2008
