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.

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!

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.")

There are many good thoughts and observations in this book, and I had high hopes for it initially. However, it reads like the publisher asked for 200 + pages and Dr. Weiss expanded her thoughts to fill the space allotted. Although I hate abridged books generally, this one would be a great candidate for aggressive editing. I'd love to see it boiled down to its essentials, but I'm not interested enough in the author's personal experiences to read the whole thing.

This book takes a different stance and gives us lots of food for thought. I also liked ADD, The Natural Approach, which gave me some reasons for my attention deficit. The creativity part was really beneficial and made me feel good about myself.

This book is Great.It explains a lot about ADD and Creativity. It may help you understand yourself or ADD child. You make look differently at ADD when you are done with this book..

I just read this book, and it feels like the book was written to describe me.. Weird.

A rambling autobiographical swamp of crystal-power feel-good-isms mixed with the author's unresolved issues with "the man."

Highlights include: a 10-year search for a cliff glimpsed in a dream, how "they" should take drugs to be like us, and an unintentionally amusing section where the editor chides her for writing a whole book without actually giving any practical suggestions for living with ADD.

I recommend Driven to Distraction instead.
