Widely recognized as the classic in the field, the book has sold  more than a million copies. Now a second revolution is under way in the approach  to ADD, and the news is great. Drug therapies, our understanding of the role of diet  and exercise, even the way we define the disorder–all are changing radically. And  doctors are realizing that millions of adults suffer from this condition, though  the vast majority of them remain undiagnosed and untreated. In this new book, Drs.  Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey build on the breakthroughs of Driven to Distraction  to offer a comprehensive and entirely up-to-date guide to living a successful life  with ADD.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As Hallowell and Ratey point out, “attention deficit disorder” is a highly  misleading description of an intriguing kind of mind.
