ADHD Illuminated
 
Review Date: September 15, 2002
Reviewer: Terrie, Little Chute, WI USA
This is a valuable book for many reasons. It is well written in easily understood terms while at the same time being inspirational and motivational and just plain great common sense. It spends time helping us to understand ADHD as not being an affliction but as simply a different mode of being. It makes an analogy between the Hunter/Gatherer societies of early mankind and equates the ADHD personality with the "hunter" type. Careful detail conveys to us the keys to success with ADHD in the workplace and as an entrepeneur. My favorite part of the book is the wonderful section on practical advice for building a life using the myriad positive aspects of ADHD to one's own advantage. This creative and positive author has given us a short, easily digested book that we can return to again and again, as needed, that delivers to us (or rather returns to us)an appreciation of the attributes for success that come naturally to the AHDH person.
Primarily geared toward the adult with ADHD who is out in the workplace or business world, I feel this book is ESSENTIAL reading for all parents of ADHD children because of its incredible message of hope and its thoroughly postive attitude. It provides tools that parents of ADHD children can use to advocate for their children with physicians and educators. It reveals a different perspective than we are so often fed, changing the outlook from one of disability and affliction to one of great potential and even giftedness. For the ADHD young adult trying to get through the high school and college years, this book is indespensible. I think most success comes through the conscientious use of the unique gifts and talents with which each of us is born. This book restores and affirms the gifts of the ADHD personality and places them in perspective. Along with the intelligent advice for knowing and understanding oneself as a person with ADHD this book illuminates the built-in and unique possibilities that are often dismissed and overlooked. Don't miss it.

Reviewer: Gerard Montigny Jr., Ottawa Ontario Canada
Thom Hartmann's latest effort "ADHD Secrets of Success" is a very pragmatic guide to leading a successful life with ADHD. Although this book describes itself as being geared towards the business world and entrepreneurs I would argue that the tips and strategies found within it can be applied to almost any situation. ADHD the Secrets of Success is based on Thom's previous work and builds on his Hunter/Farmer Theory.

Whether you're trying to start your own business or working for somebody else this book will be of immense value. It is filled with clearly outlined step-by-step tips and strategies for almost any situation one might encounter. This book is a definite must read for every ADHD adult.

Great book for ADDers

Reviewer: Tara McGillicuddy, South Shore, MA USA
I must admit that I was a bit turned off by the word busniess in the title. I think the word employment may be a bit better.
The book itself is great though.

The book has some great ideas to help ADDers become successful with employment. This book alo gives some idea about why many ADDers are not happy in thier current working enviromens.

The book is "ADD Friendly".

The ideas can also be used in other areas than just employment.

I found this book to be of great help to me and my family members. We all have some form of ADHD and ADD. This book helps you understand and pinpoint problem areas and strengths. It breaks down everything in steps so one is not overwhelmed by what we need to do to be successful in business, school and life. I recommend this book to anyone with the diagnosis and others who want to understand and help someone with ADHD/ADD.
Understand yourself to access the power within

Reviewer: Robert Kall, Newtown, PA
If you are an adult with ADD/ADHD, this book is like a key which will open up your world to a new, more hopeful, more successful future. Get it and your life and attitude will change dramatically.

Thom Hartmann, one of the world's most respected experts on ADD, proposes a different perspective -- that people with ADD are like hunters in a farmers' world. The beauty of this idea is it sees ADDers as different, not neurologically defective.

It's been said that it takes an ADD person to be an entrepreneur. "Hunters" are also great at sales, a creative work, at programming, at detective work. They're all aspects of the business world that benefit from the hunter personality.

This book helps you learn put your best face forward, so you function at your best, and it helps you learn how to compensate for the lack of farmer traits.
