I really liked this book when I read it. I wanted to hang onto it to use as a reference, but I loaned it to an acquaintance in Austin, and she never gave it back to me.

This book gives a lot of information about the problems with ritalin.

I thought this book was great. I really agree with many of his views regarding a fast paced world, the effect it has on children, and the way adults deal with it
