Ritalin Nation Rapid-Fire Culture and the Transformation of Human Consciousness

Drawing on the latest findings from developmental, psychobiological, and social scientific research, DeGrandpre "criticizes America's obsession with performance and quick satisfaction and the country's reliance on Ritalin [as] a performance-enhancing drug" ( Natural Health ). He cautions that our society-wide rush to more, and faster, stimulation leaves children especially vulnerable to "sensory addictions." Ritalin Nation exposes the shortsightedness of mere biological explanations of ADD and offers some practical guidelines for cultivating a less-hurried existence and promoting a saner, safer community for our children.DeGrandpre, Richard J. is the author of 'Ritalin Nation Rapid-Fire Culture and the Transformation of Human Consciousness' with ISBN 9780393320251 and ISBN 0393320251.
