Summary: Reframing ADD/ADHD as A GOOD THING
Comment: Edison was ADD. SO were many of the people who contributed to making the world the good place it is. This book portrays a very different picture of people with ADD, going so far as to suggest that the gene that is associated with ADD was also the gene that led to the creation of civilization. Tell that to a kid whose recently been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD who is feeling bad about having a defective brain, as some misled people conceive. This book gives a perspective on ADD/ADHD that will boost an ADDer's self esteem rather than harm it. It shoud be required reading for all teachers.
Thom Hartmann's books are extraordinarily inspiring and uplifting. If you haven't read Prophet's Way, Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight, Unequal Protection, and World's Greatest Secret, all books not related to ADD, then you're missing something. Also check out his talk show at thomhartmanndotcom.

Summary: Awesome as always
Comment: As always, Hartmann has written a book that gives encouragement and hope for those of us who are ADD/ADHD. When my daughter and I were first diagnosed, Thom Hartmann's "Different Perception" was the first book I read. From the first book to this newest one, Hartmann makes those of us who are ADD feel as though we aren't sick or disordered. Both the "hunter theory" and the "Edison Gene" assist ADDers in finding their place in today's society... or just make their own spot. :-D

Summary: Hunter Children Can Save the World
Comment: In this book, Thom logically progressed up what the former California Senator S.I. Hayakawa called the abstraction ladder. Thom moves from brain cells to parts, to the individual child and their genes. He then postulates that our modern schools are oppressive and are profoundly wounding our Edison Gene children by treating and labeling them as "disordered". Thom asks the reader to take a new look at raising Edison Gene (ADHD) children and how the very survival of the human race may ultimately depend on these hyper-creative and novelty seeking brains. For some, the building of the case may be tedious at first, (Publisher's Weekly), but I disagree. It is a necessary step to overcome the bias fostered by the media and the billions spent by vested interests in labeling these beautiful children "disordered. You may disagree with the conclusions, but there is enough proof provided here to convince even the most ardent skeptic of Thom's premise and serious proponent of the view that ADHD is a disorder that their view needs re-examination. The world will be losing something great if we don't learn to accept, love, and nurture our "Edison Gene" children and their gifts.
