(Somerville, MA USA) January 7, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars

Quite a few people have told me that Dr. Hallowell's books on ADD have changed, and in some cases, saved their lives.

With his latest book on the topic, I am sure that many more lives will be saved -- both literally and figuratively.

Delivered from Distraction, which presents new and valuable information not contained in Dr. Hallowell's earlier books on the topic, shows why "attention deficit disorder" needn't be a deficit or a disorder. In fact, many "ADD traits" can, if understood, managed, and nurtured, be powerful positive forces in an individual's life.

While the book presents recent research in the field as well as information on the latest medications, it is especially strong in showing readers how to minimize the negative, and strengthen the positive aspects of ADD without medication.

Dr. Hallowell's intelligent and practical self-treatment regimes, along with the moving profiles of people who have triumphed despite -- and perhaps because of -- their ADD, made me almost wish I had it. And then I realized that Dr. Hallowell's advice to people with ADD is great advice for ANYONE who wishes to lead a healthy, creative, and fulfilling life -- albeit with a little more organization and a little less procrastination.
