À propos de cet audio

 In 1994, Driven to Distraction sparked a revolution in our understanding of attention deficit disorder. Widely recognized as the classic in the field, the book has sold more than a million copies. Now a second revolution is under way in the approach to ADD, and the news is great. Drug therapies, our understanding of the role of diet and exercise, even the way we define the disorder—all are changing radically. And doctors are realizing that millions of adults suffer from this condition, though the vast majority of them remain undiagnosed and untreated. In this new book, Drs. Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey build on the breakthroughs of Driven to Distraction to offer a comprehensive and entirely up-to-date guide to living a successful life with ADD.

As Hallowell and Ratey point out, “attention deficit disorder” is a highly misleading description of an intriguing kind of mind. Original, charismatic, energetic, often brilliant, people with ADD have extraordinary talents and gifts embedded in their highly charged but easily distracted minds. Tailored expressly to ADD learning styles and attention spans, Delivered from Distraction provides accessible, engaging discussions of every aspect of the condition, from diagnosis to finding the proper treatment regime. Inside you’ll discover

• whether ADD runs in families
• new diagnostic procedures, tests, and evaluations
• the links between ADD and other conditions
• how people with ADD can free up their inner talents and strengths
• the new drugs and how they work, and why they’re not for everyone
• exciting advances in nonpharmaceutical therapies, including changes in diet, exercise, and lifestyle
• how to adapt the classic twelve-step program to treat ADD
• sexual problems associated with ADD and how to resolve them
• strategies for dealing with procrastination, clutter, and chronic forgetfulness

ADD is a trait, a way of living in the world. It only becomes a disorder when it impairs your life. Featuring gripping profiles of patients with ADD who have triumphed, Delivered from Distraction is a wise, loving guide to releasing the positive energy that all people with ADD hold inside. If you have ADD or care about someone who does, this is the book you must read.©2005 E. Hallowell and J. Ratey; (P)2005 Books on Tape, Inc.

I'm a 33-year-old, male entrepreneur that until now has learned solely from my experiences and mistakes.

I'm only on chapter 10 and this book is making so much sense to me and why I struggle with things that are seen as simple for most people. Yet other things I am able to do people couldn't fathom where I even started!

It's such a relief to see someone has broken this down to a science and I am excited to explore it more and see what effect it has on my life going forward.

- If you are confused about yourself read this book
- If you are confused about a loved ones behaviours read this book

This is going to change my life...

I liked the all around, all in one resource this book is for ADHD. It is particularly for adult ADHD but also is a great resource for parents learning what to expect moving forward in the life of a child with ADHD. I feel better equipped with the bigger, long term picture of what ADHD entails and how important treatment is.

I highly recommend the audio book, because I really doubt I would have read all of it in the book form.

The chapters are not accurate in the audio version though. So finding a chapter again is difficult. I do wish chapters were listed with their titles , accurately. The book has like 43 chapters, but the whole book audio is done in like 18 chapters. (The entire book is there, but just not by chapters as is the physical form).

Great intro for newly diagnosed

Interesting and informative

I've read a few books on ADHD but this is so far the best one. Our doctor comes off as non-biased, and motives are dwelling in the search for truth. He seems to come off as someone who really cares about all people and the medical profession as a whole.

Best book on the subject

This book gives you a realistic take on ADHD from someone who really understands. both what it is like to live with ADhD and who is a medical professional in the field.
This is an amazing book to read as a person with ADHD because it not only outlines some of the challenges associated with ADHD it also has a focus on the strengths of ADHD something that other books just don't do.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone who has ADHD, or for anyone who is close with someone with ADHD.

An amazing and gentle book for anyone with ADHD
