Crazybusy: Overstretched, Overbooked, and about to Snap! Strategies for Coping in a World Gone Add

Edward M. Hallowell. Ballantine Books, $24.95 (237pp) ISBN 978-0-345-48243-3

Hallowell (Driven to Distraction; Delivered from Distraction) turns what he has learned treating Attention Deficit Disorder into advice on how to cope with rampant busyness, ""the problem and the opportunity"" of modern life. He explains how to turn ""the rush, the gush, the worry, and the blather (which also includes clutter)"" into allies, so that one can have the things one wants with the speed, volume and emotional energy of the crazy-busy lifestyle. The roadmap Hallowell offers is helpful; that is, if one can manage to pick this book out of the never-ending stream of stimuli and find the time to read it.
