"Advice on how to cope with rampant busyness, "the problem and the opportunity" of modern life. This book 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."@en
"Are you too busy? Are you always running behind? Is your calendar loaded with more than you can possibly accomplish? Is it driving you crazy? You're not alone. Crazybusy--the modern phenomenon of brain overload--is a national epidemic. Without intending for it to happen, we've plunged ourselves into a mad rush of activity, expecting our brains to keep track of more than they comfortably or effectively can. In fact, as attention deficit disorder expert and bestselling author Edward M. Hallowell, M.D., argues in this groundbreaking new audiobook, brain overload has reached the point where our entire society is suffering from culturally induced ADD. But as Dr. Hallowell argues, being crazybusy can also be an opportunity. The impulse to be busy can be turned to our advantage once we get in touch with our needs and take charge of how we really want to spend our time. Through quick exercises (perfect for busy people), focused advice on everything on everything from lifestyle to time management, and examples chosen from his extensive clinical experience, Dr. Hallowell goes step-by-step over the process of unsnarling frantic lives."@en
"Psychiatrist Hallowell (Delivered from Distraction: Getting the Most Out of Life with Attention Deficit Disorder), himself an ADD sufferer, muses on the fact that today's world looks like an ADD world, with people having shorter attention spans, lacking focus, and getting easily distracted by all the surrounding technologies. To regain control of one's life, Hallowell suggests eliminating activities or relationships that demand too much time and effort for what they are worth, doing what matters most in one's life, eliminating clutter, reconnecting with others, and finding one's own rhythm. All this so that menial activities can be executed without thinking, leaving the brain free for creativity. While he makes many great observations (e.g., "Labor-saving devices thus create more labor"), more than 100 pages pass before Hallowell finally arrives at the crux of his book: his actual solutions and principles. Nonetheless, this essay is a good starting point for thinking about technology and information overload in today's world. -Library Journal."
