Encouraging Words

If you are the preacher, rabbi, teacher, parent, or sibling of one with ADHD or you are the one of these with ADHD, this genuinely encouraging, fully researched, and truly uplifting book is a must have for you. Dr. Livingston gives a new paradigm from which to view ADHD issues. And how encouraging is it that one with ADHD is himself a psychiatrist, professor, and author????

Real Solutions for the Spiritual ADHD Family

Richard Livingston is the first to write a book about ADHD that takes into account the spiritual and cultural issues faced by the average observant religious family. In doing so he has provided a ground-breaking handbook for those of us who want and need to hear from professionals who understand the challenges faced by children and adults in religious environments. The book is easy to read, brief enough to hold even the ADHD interest and designed in such a way that the reader can skip around and still make sense of what's written. I am impressed!

Real World Wonderful

Finally there is a book by a professional that concentrates on the crucial but less discussed challenges of ADHD. With all the ADHD in the press and talk-shows and all controversies about medications, it is nice that someone with experience took time to discuss ADHD FROM A SPIRITUAL AND MORAL PERSPECTIVE. As a teacher, I have attempted to read several books about ADHD which were either too general to be useful or to specific for me to understand. Dr. Livingston examines the whole person with ADHD and not just the chemical person. Something else that makes it a five star experience-it is enjoyable to read. Instead of stereo-instructions or holier-than-thou advise, it is real stories of challenges faced and often overcome. Fantastic!
