Delivered from Distraction: Getting the Most out of Life with Attention Deficit Disorder
Edward M. Hallowell, John J. Ratey
Rating: 5.0/5 Stars

Delivered from Distraction (Savannah, Ga.) January 13, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars
Dr. Hallowell's latest book is a gem. He gives concrete examples from the
lives of people who suffer from ADD. After reading the book, I almost wish
I had it. Clearly, it is often ancillary to the most gifted, creative
minds.
Not only is this book informative, but, at times, it is
hysterically funny. (Take the personality test on page 44 on home life, if
you want to fall to the floor laughing.) Larded within the elegant prose
and the scientific data, the warmth of Dr. Hallowell's own personality
shines through. His view on life would seem to be: one can laugh or one
can cry about the cards one is dealth.
Clearly, he has decided to laugh
through his tears.
