Delivered from Distraction: Getting the Most out of Life with Attention Deficit Disorder

Delivered from Distraction is a well written and informative book on adult add. It is a must-read for adults suffering from add and people who live with them! It helps the non add adults understand what others with add are going through and it helps those with add so they can find solutions and maximize their potential. By reading this book, I understood that add is not a negative trait that cannot be dealt with unless the person is put on medicine, rather, I learned that there are a lot of positive things that come along with people who have add and they can give a lot to society if they use their capabilities to the utmost!
It is a book that should be read by all - adders and non adders alike!

Absolutely wonderful insight into "ADD". Helpful for family members. Removes the fear and replaces it with good and sensible facts to understand. Written by two doctors with "ADD". I would recommend this highly to anyone with questions about "ADD" and how to be of help and support to those with it and for their families in order to relate and be involved with helping the person lead a great life.

After reading this book, I sold my other ADHD books, began LENS treatments for my family, signed up for the Hallowell Center newsletter, started automatic delivery of Dr. Sears's Omega-3 supplements, and have been moving upward and onward ever since. The book is pertinent, funny, up-to-date, and positive. I turned a corner when I got to know Dr. Hallowell through print.

Great read for adults with ADD or parents of a child or children with Add or ADHD. Very useful information on various therapies, medications and other tips for living the ADD life to the fullest! I highly recommend it to anyone who is impacted by this mysterious, mis-understood, and often magical neurological variation. Never give-up!

This book is a very easy reading but packed with lots of information in a very well organized format. After having two different professionals ask me if I've ever considered ADD as a possible condition I figured it was time to learn some more. I love that the author calls out how ADD is about how the mind organizes. He has a balanced approach to medication. He believes in a multi-pronged approach of developing strategies to develop strengths and minimize the challenges of ADD.
