Comment by Mike on July 22, 2008 at 4:08pm: One of the most important books I've read is "Meeting the Shadow" by Connie Zweig. It's both enlightening and disturbing. Reading it is a very personal journey.

The nice part is without the author knowing it, the book was made for adders! It contains 65 excerpts from different books on Carl Jung's shadow theory. Each it's own individual story, so if you must read two (or more) books at once like I do, you never have to sit with it long, and you'll never get lost.

Comment by Kelly47 on July 2, 2008 at 6:28pm: I got paid today so I'm ordering several books off amazon tomorrow. So far I've not read any self help ADD books. I have a lot to learn. Any specific book I should start off with. Anyone want to list 5 or so books I should order?

I have heard driven to distraction and delivered are very good. Also, NVP's positive thinking book sounds good. I guess all of the books mentioned should help. You know...interesting that I'm actually wanting to read. I went for years not picking up a book. I just knew I'd never finish it.

Comment by Bryan Hutchinson on May 21, 2008 at 4:46pm: I just started reading 'Healing ADD' by Thom Hartmann. I have read parts of it a while ago, but never really read all the way through it. I like his hunter theory and am interested in Thom's take on NLP.

Has anyone else read it yet?
