Publisher's Summary
Through vivid stories of the experiences of their patients (both adults and children), Drs. Hallowell and Ratey show the varied forms ADD takes - from the hyperactive search for high stimulation to the floating inattention of daydreaming - and the transforming impact of precise diagnosis and treatment.

helpful in more ways than one
There are plently of newer books on ADHD but none cover all the issues of childhood adhd to late adulthood adhd. This book even contains tips on chapter 14 that are very useful for all ages. If you understand ADHD but want to know more for yourself or loved one this is a good read.

The best book on ADHD I’ve read
Informs you about ADHD through the stories of a wide variety of people with ADHD. This makes it both easier to relate to and more interesting to read. I also really enjoyed the voice of the older man reading and his subtle American accent (I sometimes find stronger accents off-putting).

Life-changing
The information in this book, as well as ADHD 2.0, has been life-changing. All concepts are clearly defined, and ample case studies are provided, most of which should be highly relatable to the perspective listener. The narrator is also fantastic. Sometimes I found myself forgetting I wasn't listening to the Psychologist himself.

Excellent!
Clearly presented information that answered many of my questions and really confirmed my suspicions and vindicated me when all my life I had been accused of things that I now understand word to a great degree, out of my control.
This book is an absolute must for anyone who has or thinks they have ADD/ADHD.

The reading is very very slow
But I listen to it at almost double speed and then it works. I have to write some more words

As if a book was written on my brain
Absolutely loved it, and was so liberating to hear the inner workings of my brain so aptly describrd. A weight off my shoulder knowing I wasn't inadequate, but there is hope for my future. Also incredible endearing to shed the guilt I've carried with me, and be proud of how far I've come with just self awareness. Thanks Dr. Hallowell for a lifechanging book.
