 ScanSnap S300 August 31, 2008
The first impression of ScanSnap S300 was, "Great -- just what I needed." It quickly scanned my 57 pages, but then came disillusionment. Some of the pages were upside down. I thought it must be my fault and tried again with very careful attention as to how the pages were inserted -- same problem. Some pages were inverted and some skewed. The software could re-invert, but why should I have to do that? And what about the skew?
I put the project on hold for a while to get back to other tasks, and then I found the ScanSnap software had corrupted a file in my processing software -- WordPerfect. In desperation I uninstalled everything to do with ScanSnap and restarted my computer a couple of times -- but the problem remained. The ScanSnap software had left residual code that impaired my WordPerfect. Eventually I resolved the problem when I did a "Restore" to a time before I installed ScanSnap.
I'm frustrated and disappointed. The ScanSnap offered such potential and then fell so short of expectations.
 Stuart Smalley on ADD July 23, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Based on the description and reviews I expected a science based education on the subject of Adult ADD from a medically trained expert. Instead, I found a book written by a self made expert with little medical background. The book is more a Stuart Smalley like collection of affirmations designed to make people with ADD feel good about themselves but doing little to overcome the difficulties created by ADD. The author's perspective on ADD is based on her "beliefs" about what ADD is and how best to treat it. I could find little scientific evidence cited to back up her assertions.
If you are looking for a book to tell you that there's nothing wrong with you and that all of your problems are due to the rest of the world trying to force their way of thinking on you then buy this book. But if you want to understand what ADD is according to scientist and medical doctors and if you want to learn how to live with this condition in the real world then look elsewhere.
I know that it is in vogue right now to think of scientists and doctors as evil shills of BIG BUSINESS and to believe that we can learn all we need to know about the world by just getting in tune with nature and trusting our feelings, but I'll take evidence over instinct every day.
Practical,but a Bit Advanced Book,isn't it? June 4, 2008
Literally, Attention Deficit Disorder In Adults: A Different Way Of Thinking is way too difficult not only for kids but some adults with ADHD. Because it seems to involve some questions with quandaries. First time I noticed Dr. Lynn Weiss had provided some questions in this book, I had a long face, wondering if I must answer all of them. However, since I found out it is likely to stress me out, I decided to pick up the issues which really interested me. And I jotted down my opinions and comments on them in my notebook, where I believed I was going to have the opportunities to be objective on ADHD. If you ask me, that's more efficient than reading it through and answering all the questions provided. Reading all through The New Attention Deficit Disorder In Adults Workbook!? - that's going to kill my brain!
Though Attention Deficit Disorder In Adults: A Different Way Of Thinking is somewhat hard to understand, I'm sure the book will help you recognize your ADHD specifically to live a happier life!
 Excellent choice, the best April 24, 2008
This is one of the best self-help books I have read in years. The author is really an expert on the topic. The book is very helpful and easy to read and understand.
Valuable Focus on Relationships January 13, 2008
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
This book really shines in its descriptions of how the behaviors of adults with ADHD affect interactions and relationships with those around them. Dr. Weiss also offers helpful and practical solutions for dealing with the daily problems that arise in these relationships and interactions.
Many good books for adults with ADHD have appeared in the last few years, and like most of the others, this one provides scientifically accurate information about symptoms, causes, and treatments of ADHD. Its insightful information about relationships, its practical approaches to problem solving, and its encouraging tone make it stand out as one of the most valuable for adults with ADHD and for those who care about them.
In my Clinical Psychology practice, I find this book especially useful in helping adult clients with ADHD recognize exactly how their behaviors affect their spouses, friends, and co-workers. If these others can be persuaded to read the book, it also helps them see that many of the infuriating behaviors they have to deal with come from ADHD rather than from the client's personal failings or purposeful choices to be difficult.
