We live in a highly over-stimulating world. Daily life places enormous demands on us to process and respond to information. It is no wonder that ADHD is such a rapidly growing diagnosis-with children and adults of all ages coping with the disruptive forgetfulness, frustration, and organizational issues of this modern-day epidemic.
For many patients with attention deficit disorder, medication is considered the remedy of choice. But what if you had the power to cope with the symptoms of ADHD more effectively? What if all it required was a selection of mental exercises along with your own motivation and effort?
Drawing upon decades of experience as a board-certified psychologist, Michael R. Slavit, PhD, knows that the ability to train your mind is real-and through the twenty unique exercises in Train Your Wandering Mind, he is here to show you how.
Whether you are dealing with adult attention deficit disorder yourself, or parenting a child with ADHD, this book will help. It is filled with expert advice and specific exercises that will help patients change their perceptions, thoughts, and behaviors in order to achieve more organized and successful lives.
