Attention Deficit Disorder: A Different Perception

As many as 20 million Americans may have Attention Deficit Disorder. In this pioneering book, with sales of more than 100,000 copies, Thom Hartmann explains ADD from an evolutionary perspective, suggesting that the disorder really arises from roots as hunters in a hunting society. He offers a positive viewpoint, citing examples including ADD individuals who changed the world - people like Thomas Edison, Ernest Hemingway and Benjamin Franklin.

Thom Hartmann is the author of six books on ADD and former executive director of a residential treatment facility for abused and emotionally disturbed children. He authored more than 200 published articles and has spoken at conferences around the world.
