 Rating: - Book Helps ADD People do Well in the WorkplaceThe book includes: 1) "Maps, Guidebooks, and Travelogues for a Hunter in a Farmer's World," 2) Stories by people with ADD describing how they succeeded and what they learned, 3) Workplace success stories, and 4) School success stories. Much of the material relates to the workplace. It is practical and interesting. Rating: - Fantastic Book for ADD'ersThom 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 ...

I think it has the most practical tips, a good explanation for what's known about ADD, and a supportive, but not condescending tone. I even liked the Hunter/Farmer model/theory/metaphor/mythology of ADDers just being another type of person, rather than a defective one. He makes some convincing arguments for the plausibility of this theory, yet doesn't hit you over the head with it. I don't personally need the ego ... Read More Rating:  - A really useful book!I have to admit that I was prepared not to think much of Thom Hartman's hunter vs. farmer theory. I wanted something that seemed more "real" (now I'm not sure what I meant by that). So I saved this book for last and read Russell Barkeley and others first. To my surprise, this was my favorite of the six books on ADD I read, maybe because I did save it for last. I read all the pathological stuff first and it made a lot of sense to me, but it also made me feel overwhelmed about the job ahead of me raising ... Read More
