Michael Thompson, Ph.D., \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling co-author of \u003ci\u003eRaising Cain\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1994, \u003ci\u003eDriven to Distraction\u003c\/i\u003e sparked a revolution in our understanding of attention deficit disorder. Widely recognised 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. Doctors are realising 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 \u003ci\u003eDriven to Distraction\u003c\/i\u003e to offer a comprehensive and entirely up-to-date guide to living a successful life with ADD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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, \u003ci\u003eDelivered from Distraction\u003c\/i\u003e provides accessible, engaging discussions of every aspect of the condition, from diagnosis to finding the proper treatment regime.
