Delivered from Distraction: Getting the Most out of Life with Attention Deficit Disorder
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. Hallowell and Ratey, ADDers themselves, embrace the idea that success in life comes more from playing to your strengths (creativity, charisma, etc.) than overcoming your weaknesses. 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.

Focusing on Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) as a life-long neurological problem that affects adults as well as children, this definitive book describes the various forms ADD takes, how professionals distinguish ADD patterns from “unacceptable” behavior, and how medication and behavior modification techniques can balance its negative and positive aspects.
