Hallowell (Driven to Distraction; Delivered from Distraction) turns what he has learned treating Attention Deficit Disorder into advice on how to cope with rampant busyness, "the problem and the opportunity" of modern life. He explains how to turn "the rush, the gush, the worry, and the blather (which also includes clutter)" into allies, so that one can have the things one wants with the speed, volume and emotional energy of the crazy-busy lifestyle. The roadmap Hallowell offers is helpful; that is, if one can manage to pick this book out of the never-ending stream of stimuli and find the time to read it.

The well-known ADD expert knows something about how overactivity and impatience keep us from life's enduring satisfactions. In his latest book he says that the best systems for organizing ourselves do no good if our stated priorities are too numerous or unfocused, or if we are too disconnected from the people we cherish. With easy-to-follow advice that covers the large and small issues of life management, this audio lesson offers as much to CEOs as it does to house-husbands and minimum-wage workers. Stop being busy for the wrong reasons, says Dr. Hallowell. With just a few attitude and habit changes, you can identify the unique things you can give and receive in this life.
