Review

Weiss counsels those with ADD to use their special ability to figure out ways to adapt what others interpret as ADD persons' illogicality and failures of responsibility and to realize that they are worthwhile and important...an intensely affecting yet a practical book. (William Beatty Booklist )

Wow! what a great book. I realized that my ADD problems really surfaced when I stopped playing and had no oultlet for my creativity.I reccommend this book to both ADDults and parents of ADD children. It will help you to understand yourself or your child a lot better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, November 27, 1999

This review is from: A.D.D. and Creativity: Tapping Your Inner Muse (Paperback)

I have read many books on ADD. In "ADD and Creativity," Dr. Weiss manages to present familiar and new information with an interesting twist! Dr. Weiss reveales in her book that she has ADD. You can DEFINATELY tell the difference! Although she explains the basics of ADD, her book is not clinical. She relates to me and advises me in a way that most other ADD books haven't.

I highly recommend this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great, empowering, and enlightening book!, January 13, 1998

This review is from: A.D.D. and Creativity: Tapping Your Inner Muse (Paperback)

Lynn Weiss is one of the most lucid and pragmatic writers in the field of ADD, and this book is one of her best. I highly recommend it to anybody with an interest in either creativity, ADD, or the connection between the two. (Thom Hartmann is the author of 6 books on ADD, including "Healing ADD," and 3 books on spirituality including "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight.")
