Product Description:
As many as 20 million Americans may have Attention Deficit Disorder. In the five years since Thom Hartmann first published his pioneering book, 'Attention Deficit Disorder: A Different Perception,' new findings support his theory linking ADD to the genetic makeup of men and women who hunted for their food in prehistoric times. Now, Hartmann has revised his groundbreaking book to include the latest research along with surprising information on studies that link second-hand smoke to disruptive behavior. This edition has a new introduction by famed Harvard psychiatrist Edward M. Hallowell, MD, co-author of the best-selling 'Driven to Distraction.:

Rating: - Change the World

Rating: - Attention Deficit Disorder : A Different Perception
How exciting to finally read that I don't have a disorder.........but that everyone else. This book has a wonderful way of discribing how a person with attention deficit sees the world and how that unique quality is vital in our existence. Every teacher should have this book as required reading. I am a "Hunter", living in a "Farmers" world.

Rating: - This book saved our son
I read this book many years ago and have been recommending it at every opportunity. I remember as I finished this book, my son was sitting at the table just struggling to finish his homework. He was bumping his head against the table in utter frustration! I had to laugh! What was I thinking? He was so creative and smart, he read to me at age three. I discussed the book with my husband and we called his dean and arranged to have all of his teachers in a room at the same time. I carried every book ... Read More
Rating: - 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 it.
As someone who was bored in school not just because it was repetitive, not just because ... Read More
