AlbakiReads Editorial

A self-management guide for life lived at overload

Edward M. Hallowell examines “crazybusy” as a broad social condition: a pace of life in which constant demands can crowd out priorities and contribute to choices people later question. Framing the problem through his concept of culturally induced ADD, he considers how chronic overcommitment takes hold and what it can cost in attention, judgment, and daily relationships. The book presents the pressure of modern busyness as both a problem to address and an opportunity to reassess what deserves time and energy, offering strategies while encouraging readers to develop solutions suited to their own circumstances.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking self-management approaches to chronic overbooking and stress
  • Readers interested in attention, priorities, and the effects of constant busyness
  • Those looking for practical reflection on reshaping an overloaded schedule

Book overview

Look at what's happened to the usual how-are-you exchange. It used to go like this: "How are you?" "Fine." Now it often goes like this: "How are you?" "Busy." Or "Too busy." Or simply "Crazy."

Without intending for it to happen or knowing how, when, or why it got started, many people now find that they live in a rush they never wanted. If you feel busier than you've ever been and wonder how this happened and how you can keep up the pace much longer, you are hardly alone.

Crazy? Maybe not. Dysfunctional? Yes, indeed. We all have more to do than ever before -- and less time to do it. In this highly listenable audiobook, the foremost expert on ADD, Ned Hallowell, explores the society-wide phenomenon of culturally induced ADD.

Being busy may very well keep you from doing what matters most, or it may lead you to do things you deem unwise (like getting angry, for example). Being busy is a problem for almost all of us. This audiobook is about both the opportunity and the problem -- where this peculiar life comes from and how to turn it to your advantage. Offering solutions to this difficult, complex problem that might work for you, most importantly, Crazybusy may prompt you to create solutions of your own.
