and leading authority in the field of ADHD. He was a faculty member at Harvard Medical
School from 1983 to 2004, graduated from Harvard College and Tulane School of Medicine,
and is the founder of The Hallowell Centers for Cognitive and Emotional Health in
Sudbury, MA and New York City. These Centers offer comprehensive mental health diagnostic
and treatment services to patients and their families.
Dr. Hallowell is best known for the ground-breaking books he co-authored with Dr.
John Ratey, Driven to Distraction and Delivered from Distraction, which have sold millions of copies. With decades of experience working with people
who have ADHD, Dr. Hallowell has long argued that ADHD is too often misunderstood,
mistreated, and mislabeled as a “disability” and that the gifts of this condition
are easily lost amid negative comments.
He is also a revered authority on lifelong personal betterment and fulfillment. He
has authored eighteen books on various psychological topics including the power of
the human connection, the childhood roots of happiness, methods of forgiving others,
dealing with worry, and managing excessive busyness.
Dr. Hallowell is a highly recognized public figure, appearing on numerous national
television programs including Oprah, Dr. Oz, 20/20 Dr. Phil, 60 Minutes, CNN, The Today Show, Good Morning America, and The View. He has been interviewed for The New York Times, USA Today, Newsweek, Time Magazine, U.S. News and World Report,
the Los Angeles Times, and many other leading publications.
Corporate audiences actively seek his counsel on how to better optimize their employees'
performance and business strengths. Dr. Hallowell's passionate on-site presentations
are tailored to provide creative and reproducible Competitive Edge strategies based
on industry research, his own experience helping people maximize their potential for
more then 25 years, and the brain science detailed in his book SHINE - Special Help Integrating Neurological Experience.
Teachers and chiropractors can also apply his strength-based approach to ADHD by utilizing
his professional development programs. Teacher are trained to recognize and address
the needs of students with ADHD, and the chiropractor certification program offers
an effective, natural approach to addressing ADHD.
Dr. Hallowell lives in the Boston area with his wife, Sue, a social worker, and their
three children. His greatest love is doing whatever they want to do and spending one
summer month at the aptly-named Lake Doolittle, where they connect and slow down.
