John J. Ratey Knihy

O někom jste si mysleli, že je věčný popleta, nenechavec nebo nezdolný tvůrce, byť dosti nepředvídatelný, o jiném si říkáte, že by toho mohl hodně dokázat, kdyby "se dal trochu dohromady", o některých spolužácích si možná pamatujete, že věčně věků pobíhali po třídě a chvíli neposeděli. Ti všichni možná mají ADD. Je docela možné, že určité příznaky ADD objevíte i u sebe. Domnívám se, že nejvhodnější způsob, jak poznat ADD a proniknout do jeho podstaty, vychází z poznání, jak ADD ovlivňuje lidi, kteří touto poruchou trpí.

“If you read only one book about attention deficit disorder, it should be Delivered from Distraction.” —Michael Thompson, Ph.D. In 1994, Driven to Distraction revolutionized the understanding of attention deficit disorder (ADD), selling over a million copies. Now, a second revolution is underway, with significant changes in drug therapies, dietary and exercise roles, and the definition of the disorder itself. Many adults remain undiagnosed and untreated, highlighting the need for updated insights. Drs. Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey expand on previous breakthroughs to provide a comprehensive guide to thriving with ADD. They argue that “attention deficit disorder” is a misleading term for a unique mindset characterized by originality, charisma, and energy. This book offers engaging discussions on various aspects of ADD, including diagnosis, treatment options, and how to harness inner strengths. Readers will learn about familial links, new diagnostic methods, connections to other conditions, and both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical therapies. Strategies for overcoming procrastination, clutter, and forgetfulness are also covered. Featuring inspiring patient profiles, this guide serves as a compassionate resource for those with ADD and their loved ones.

Did you know you can beat stress, lift your mood, fight memory loss, sharpen your intellect, and function better than ever simply by elevating your heart rate and breaking a sweat? The evidence is incontrovertible: aerobic exercise physically remodels our brains for peak performance. In SPARK, John Ratey, MD embarks upon a fascinating journey through the mind-body connection, illustrating that exercise is truly our best defense against everything from depression to ADD to addiction to menopause to Alzheimer's. Filled with amazing case studies (such as the revolutionary fitness program in Naperville, Illinois, that has put the local school district of 19,000 kids first in the world of science test scores), SPARK is the first book to explore comprehensively the connection between exercise and the brain. It will change forever the way you think about your morning run.

Through vivid stories of the experiences of their patients (both adults and children), Drs. Hallowell and Ratey show the varied forms ADD takes -- from the hyperactive search for high stimulation to the floating inattention of daydreaming -- and the transforming impact of precise diagnosis and treatment.

Bringing order and relevance to the cascade of recent brain findings, Dr John Ratey explains the brain's most important systems, the role they play in determining how we interact with the world and ways in which we can influence their operations for the better. Throughout, he illustrates his points with vivid and often surprising examples drawn from his own practice, research and everyday life. Ratey answers such compelling questions as: What does it mean to be linguistically ambidextrous? How does a mother's cradling of her child on her left shoulder relate to the development of language skills? Why does listening to music while doing homework improve accuracy? Why do people like spicy foods? He also analyses the ways in which things can go wrong, detailing causes and treatments for diseases such as autism, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, as well as numerous neurological disorders. As Dr. Ratey demonstrates throughout the book, the brain is astonishingly flexible, able to be retrained and reprogrammed. Like a muscle, it responds to use, adapting to new demands and conditions, allowing, as the title of the book suggests, the guidance of the user.

The scientific evidence behind why maintaining a lifestyle more like that of our ancestors will restore our health and well-being. In GO WILD, Harvard Medical School Professor John Ratey, MD, and journalist Richard Manning reveal that although civilization has rapidly evolved, our bodies have not kept pace. This mismatch affects every area of our lives, from our general physical health to our emotional wellbeing. Investigating the power of living according to our genes in the areas of diet, exercise, sleep, nature, mindfulness and more, GO WILD examines how tapping into our core DNA combats modern disease and psychological afflictions, from Autism and Depression to Diabetes and Heart Disease. By focusing on the ways of the past, it is possible to secure a healthier and happier future, and GO WILD will show you how.

Macht zu viel Wohlstand krank? Hundertausende von Jahren evolutionärer Prägung als Jäger und Sammler haben unseren Körper und Geist nicht für ein Leben in der Komfortzone vorbereitet. Die epidemische Zunahme von Herz-Kreislauferkrankungen, Diabetes und vielen anderen Zivilisationskrankheiten sind Alarmzeichen. Und nicht nur das: ZIVILISATIONSKRANK zeigt, dass auch Glück und Wohlbefinden Teil unser evolutionären Bestimmung sind und warum wir die Herausforderungen der Natur brauchen, um gesünder und zufriedener zu sein.
