Adult ADHD: How to Succeed as a Hunter in a Farmer's World Paperback – June 16, 2016

Wow!! This book WOWed me so that I had to stop, catch my breath and walk around in the middle of the night. Breathtaking! The idea that I do NOT have a deficiency... that ADD is part of my biggest GIFT.... and ways to understand how my brain actually WORKS... is profound.I laughed in a lot of the parts when I saw myself reflected in my ability to measure time. LOL. I'm still laughing. And at the whirlwind on my desk (that is getting neater).... and walking into the kitchen noticing that the sink is nice and clean however that I left 2 drawers open and 5 cupboards... LOL. It's all okay. I am also devising ways to WORK with this amazing gift. I recommend this to ANYone who might have or know someone who has ADHD. PROFOUND work.

Book was bought for and read by an adult family member. She found it extremely enlightening and helpful in understanding her ADHD issues.

Short, which is probably a good thing. Mostly focused on entrepreneurship. Made it most of the way though, I plan to finish it some day. I guess the thing about having ADHD is that someti

I've loved Thom Hartmann's books about ADHD, but the ones I've read are 15-20 years old. I was delighted to see that he had written a new one! Just to be sure it was really new, before ordering it I looked on Amazon's list of specifics about the book. Sure enough it said 2016. What I missed was that it was a third edition. When the book arrived, I saw that the title page states it was originally published in 1994, published under a new copyright in 2002, and now under a new copyright in 2016. Now that I have begun to read it, I'm finding that there is a small amount of new information about the DSM-V in the first chapter. As far as I can tell, the rest of the book is probably original. I don't see any references in the bibliography newer than the 1990's and some are from the 1970s and 1980s. This doesn't mean the information is not useful. It's just that I've read about his hunter/farmer theory elsewhere and thought I would be reading an updated presentation. I would appreciate it if Amazon would make it clear when a "new" book is really an old book in a new outer shell.

As a fan of the author's progressive radio show, I knew I was going to enjoy his wellbased theory on ADHD.

It is a good book. Although it is said somewhere that Thom discovered the association between ADHD syndrome with the hunter skills, a bibliography list on this very book will be a clear idea that there were individuals who had written about the association.It is impossible to reach Mr. Hartmann via his email-Id. posted on his website for clarifications on some aspects of his discussions on his books, an issue which Mr. Hartmann should look into and amend, if possible.
