Format:Paperback
This is one of only a few books I have read which actually makes you feel better while you are reading it.
I was diagnosed with ADHD - Combined Type during September 2000 at age 36. Since diagnosis I have read a great deal, believing that the more I knew the easier it would be (wrong approach ?).
To benefit from this book you don't need to understand what causes ADD/ADHD or understand complex concepts.
The book actually felt as if it was written for me, about me and where I came from. Key perspective is gained early on e.g asking what is most damaging - the ADHD itself (distractability, impulsivity and risk-taking) or the 'label' of ADD (having a deficit or disorder).
Read it and feel better and/or make your child feel better.

I am an adult who was diagnosed with ADD about 6 months ago. Since then I have been educating myself on the subject and 'how to' progress forward in a postive manner with my life. Hartmann's book has so far proved to be an enlightening read, giving me both an understanding of how some of my life problems have become such major issues in my life and also some simple solutions and ideas on how to change my perspective both on historical events and the future. For me this was money well spent!

Not widely recognized for many years, Attention-Deficit Disorder (or ADD) is a medical condition that affects many people. Symptoms include poor short-term memory, a tendency to procrastinate, limited concentration, poor short-term memory, weak organisational skills and poor short-term memory (as well as a fondness for resuscitating dated jokes).
Fellow sufferers will likely find that the mental exercises presented within will be extremely effective at reducing the severity of their symptoms, although persistence may be required- the first time I tried the initial exercise, I found myself beginning to struggle before I was even half-way through. Next thing I knew, I realised that I had cast the book aside and flicked on the TV channel 'Dave'! Still, once you get things going the difference will be quite remarkable. Before I began self-treatment my concentration span was especially short. There was a strong tendency for my mind to wander randomly from topic to topic while I was supposed to be working on something else. Usually, the subject matter of any such musings would be rather inconsequential, such as the cost of a loaf of bread or the events in Ramsay Street- which haven't been anywhere near as good since the show moved from the BBC. I used to like Channel Five when they showed erotic thrillers with Shannon Tweed every weekend, but I'm not best pleased about them putting advert breaks in Neighbours! Frankly, it spoils the flow of the storyline. Still, I was watching it today and this kid called Ringo had anorexia. Imagine that, eh? An Aussie guy who would turn down a sanger and Vegemite sarnie, fresh off the barbie! You wouldn't have seen that in the olden days, back when Jim Robinson was still in it. He's in everything though now! First he turned up in the X-files and next thing you know he's in Lost, 24 and the new Indiana Jones film. Personally, I didn't think it was as bad as some people said (except for all that nonsense with the aliens), but it's a pity that Sean Connery wasn't in it. I know it wasn't right for him to go and say that it's okay to knock a woman about, but he's still THE James Bond (even if Ian Fleming had wanted David Niven for the role). He wasn't actually the first though, because Barry Nelson was in the original 1954 TV version of Casino Royale and Bob Holness off Blockbusters had done Bond in a play that was broadcast on South-African radio. I suppose that Daniel Craig's okay, but he'll never be the same as Connery. They could at least dye his hair a bit darker and give him the odd ciggie to puff on. I saw him in some film once where he was supposed to be this nutter on drugs and there was one bit where he was wandering around the streets without so much as a fig leaf to protect his modesty. He'd better not be planning on doing any scenes for 'Quantum of Solace' without a sensible pair of Y-fronts, or Bond's status as a symbol of thriving masculinity could be on the way out!
Anyway, where was I? Ah, yes. If you do the exercises every day, you will soon see major improvements. In the past I would often become distracted rather easily. However, following my treatment, the difference has been stupendous! Of late, I have rarely encountered any problems in seeing a task through to its suitable conclu
