Are you smart, scattered, and struggling? You're not alone. Cutting-edge research shows that today's 24/7 wired world and the growing demands of work and family life may simply max out the part of the brain that manages complex tasks. That's especially true for those lacking strong executive skills - the core brain-based abilities needed to maintain focus, meet deadlines, and stay cool under pressure.

Publisher's Summary
Attention deficit disorder (ADD) is a national health crisis that continues to grow - yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and incorrectly treated illnesses today. Neuropsychiatrist Daniel G. Amen, MD was one of the first to identify that there are multiple types beyond just purely hyperactive or inattentive ADD, each requiring a different treatment. Now, in this all-new, revised edition, Dr. Amen again employs the latest medical advances in the field, including the largest brain imaging study ever completed on patients with ADD, to identify, examine, and demystify the 7 distinct types of ADD and their specific treatments.
With updated recommendations for nutraceuticals and/or medications targeted to brain type, diet, exercise, lifestyle interventions, cognitive reprogramming, parenting and educational strategies, neurofeedback, and more, Dr. Amen’s revolutionary approach provides a treatment program that can lead sufferers of ADD to a normal, peaceful, and fully functional life.
Sufferers from ADD often say, “The harder I try, the worse it gets.” Dr. Amen tells them, for the first time, why, and more importantly how to heal ADD.

Amazing Book
Daniel Amen's book on Healing ADD is excellent. I do not take just one person's expertise on such an important subject, but I feel that Dr. Amen's research must place him in a high place regarding this subject. The book is easy to listen to -- he is the narrator as well. I have a hard copy of it, important as he goes through the various lists at the end of a couple of chapters regarding treatments, etc. Highly, highly recommend this for people who do not like to read (!) but who need the information. On some devices you can speed up the narration. Grateful to have this on audio.

This audio book has personally changed my outlook
If you or a family member struggles with ADD this is a must read. It's a crash course in how the brain functions. For me its hard to solve an issue with out know the origin or a cause of a issue. This book gives you so much insight in to the numerous types of ADD.. This book can be the difference between writing someone off as troubled or recognizing someone needs help.

Informative, and not just a sales pitch.
You don't have to delve too deeply into the realm of ADHD materials and resources to come across Dr Amen. I first heard of him through his TED Talk, and his name keeps cropping up on various podcasts and other videos I've listened to and watched since then. I was initially really excited about his whole brain scan idea, but that excitement was gradually dampened by all the neigh-sayers out there. Ironically, Dr Amen is more balanced in his presentation of how brain scans are used to support a diagnosis, and are not used as the sole basis for a diagnosis in and of themselves. Ironic because this is the main point of most of his critics!
A very comprehensive and helpful tool, and a resource that I will no doubt refer back to many times in the future!

Excellent book,we all need a brain scan.Many times we judge others,look down upon them,get frustrated without really understanding how their brain works and how their personality and everything they do is affected by it.This book really helps you recognize the symptoms and know what to do to help the person in need.

Thought provoking
Would you listen to Healing ADD Revised Edition again? Why?
The book was full of interesting insights and suggested methods of dealing with ADD / ADHD. Even if you do not agree with many of the author's assumptions on ADHD (which I don't ) there are still a lot of helpful suggestions you can use to try and help manage ADD. I wouldn't recommend this book as an introduction to ADD / ADHD but it is worth listening to if you're looking for further information and coping strategies. The technical information in the book is easy to understand and well explained.
