Product Description
Look at what's happened to the usual how-are-you exchange. It used to go like this: "How are you?" "Fine." Now it often goes like this: "How are you?" "Busy." Or "Too busy." Or simply "Crazy."
Without intending for it to happen or knowing how, when, or why it got started, many people now find that they live in a rush they never wanted. If you feel busier than you've ever been and wonder how this happened and how you can keep up the pace much longer, you are hardly alone.
Crazy? Maybe not. Dysfunctional? Yes, indeed. We all have more to do than ever before -- and less time to do it. In this highly listenable audiobook, the foremost expert on ADD, Ned Hallowell, explores the society-wide phenomenon of culturally induced ADD.
Being busy may very well keep you from doing what matters most, or it may lead you to do things you deem unwise (like getting angry, for example). Being busy is a problem for almost all of us. This audiobook is about both the opportunity and the problem -- where this peculiar life comes from and how to turn it to your advantage. Offering solutions to this difficult, complex problem that might work for you, most importantly, Crazybusy may prompt you to create solutions of your own.
From the Compact Disc edition.

 A great book for any busy person February 27, 2008
CrazyBusy: Overstretched, Overbooked, and About to Snap! Strategies for Handling Your Fast-Paced Life
This book is a great read and a big help for reducing stress.
very practical advice December 22, 2007
I was at first a little distracted by the made-up, meaningless "terms" the author used such as "gemmelsmerch" to describe the various things in life that distract us from what is important. And while it took me a while to really get into the book, I found that it indeed contained some very practical strategies for handling our fast-paced lives. Chapter 32 was the best...50 suggestions to use in developing a system that works for you. Some may seem like common sense, but for those of us with ADD, it never hurts to have constant reminders. Loved the book.
 We are becomming ADD November 4, 2007
I think the connection the author makes between our daily activities and ADD behavior is intriguing. Once made you can see it all around you with the frantic task switching we are all engaged in in our daily activity schedule e_mail - cell phones - over worked ETC. He as a Doctor in the mental health field has written a book that is useful and illuminating I think the book and it's thesis is very convincing- and can help alleviate the condition as you become more aware of what is happening to you-
Good read

Dr. Hallowell has reminded us what we already know...that doing the most IMPORTANT things is what makes life worth living. HOW we invest our time day-by-day determines our level of happiness with how we invest our time. In my business I see a lot of people doing what's second, instead of doing what's first on their list. REad thsi book and help yourself get re-focused...and then enjoy!

CrazyBusy is a wonderful insightful and exciting book for the time we are living in now. It examines our lifestyles and shows us some good examples of how to make our lives less stressful. It is an easy read crammed full of interesting information. After reading the whole book once, it makes you want to start over again and read it through again. It makes a great book for a book club to discuss. It should provide a lot of lively talk for a book club. I certainly want my adult children to read it, and it probably would be a good book for high school juniors and seniors to read.
