Summary: Specific techniques culled from thousands of interviews
Review: This book contains around 100 specific, real-world strategies, techniques, and methods to be successful as a "Hunter in a Farmer's world." It grew out of thousands of emails, interviews, discussions, and my work over the years as a psychotherapist with ADHD adults and children. Most of the techniques are told as first-person stories, and so easily read and understood. Topics cover how to be successful in school, relationships, family, and at work. For more info, you can visit our web-site at http://www.thomhartmann.com (there are links from there back here to amazon for all my books), or drop me an email. Enjoy!

Summary: Encouraging, empowering!
Review: Thom Hartmann focuses on the positive aspects of ADD. There is so much that people with ADD can do and contribute... there is so much GOOD that can be channeled and focused in the right direction to create a successful life! As an adult with ADD and the parent of a child with ADD, I really appreciate these great examples.

Summary: Fantastic Book for ADD'ers
Review: Thom Hartmann is one of the best writers on ADD, for ADD'ers. Why? Because he doesn't label people with ADD as having brain disease and broken. His Hunter in a Farmer's World Model makes so much sense. It's been dissed by Barkley and others, but in the last year hard genetic research has come in proving the theory, and other ADD researchers have reached the same conclusions.
But that's not why you should buy this book Buy it because it gives tons of examples of people with ADD who have had success in all different aspects of life. The fact is, ADD people are the ones with ants in their pants who change the world. Who don't sit there and settle for the ordinary. They do things-- start companies (entrepreneurs,) make noise about problems (call them politicians and activists,) investigate stuff (detectives, reporters, scientists who don't wash test tubes and replicate the ADD scientists visionary work.)So read about how ADD'ers make it, how they succeed, and start feeling not only hopeful, but perhaps even a bit cocky about being an ADD'er or knowing one.
