Driven To Distraction - Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Throug

2 stars (this reference book was all marked up!) - While the seller tells me the item was described as having some marks--I don't think I would have bought a reference book that was riddled throughout with nonsensical highlights and pencil markings. 2 stars (not recommended) - I would not recommend this book as a good source to learn more about ADD or ADHD. Although it was somewhat interesting to read about the life experiences of others, it really did not offer useful coping skills. I also felt like it was geared more towards adults who had not recognized their problems until much later in life and the havoc undiagnosed ADD can cause in your life. Some of the other books I have read also give a few examples which are helpful in recognizing and understanding your child and their problems, but they also offer good coping skills for you and for your child. 5 stars (Driven to Distraction) - I loved this CD, it gave me insight into a disorder/condition that affects several people I care very deeply about. It explained how they can be some of the brightest and most stubborn people on the planet. I recommend it highly. ...

The Wizard of Oz and Other Narcissists- Coping with the One-Way Relationship in Work- Love- and Fami

5 stars (Light in the Darkness) - This overview of the dynamics between a "Narcissist" and a "Co" is validating to the confused "Co" who is invalidated and used only to be made wrong when he/she speaks up. The decriptions of the parts each one plays in the inevitable destruction is laid out in clear and concise tables. The fine-tuning of the difference between an "Overt" and a "Covert" Narc. is extremely helpful. Looking at 2 sides of the same "animal" makes it easier to respond and move into growth and health. I am greatly helped in my very long process of learning to love myself as I love my "Narcissists" in a way that is truely loving--to both and all in our lives. I have helped to create and maintain the monster. I have a sense of self that I must grow into too or I am a dependant who "uses" another to define and shape my life! This book hits the "spot! 5 stars (Gripping) - A powerfully realistic perspective of the many tragedies that result from narcisssim. This is a straight forward read that uses a variety of narritives to explain the spell binding nature of this syndrome. The authors objective informative approach to this subject makes this a must read for anyone who has been affected by this subject. 5 stars (Mirror Be Gone) - I read "The Wizard of Oz and Other Narcissists" after recognizing way too much of myself in the book "My Fractured Life". While it's a brilliant book, I'm not sure I would want people to see me like that and I'm afraid that they do - because I have been guilty of that because of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. "The Wizard of Oz and Other Narcissists" puts a lot in perspective for me and is helping me realize and hopefully change a lot. I'd rather enjoy "My Fractured Life" as an entertained reader than as an active participant looking in the mirror. ...
