John Ratey ( Harvard prof)

<p>I thought I would stick Harvard in there to get you guys who aren’t familar to pay attention

I just went to a workshop tonight- where John Ratey was the speaker and while I have several of his books -
A User’s Guide to the Brain: Perception, Attention and the Four Theaters of the Brain.
He has also co-authored Driven to Distraction : Recognizing and Coping With Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood (1994)
and Answers to Distraction (1995) with Edward Hallowell, M.D., and
Shadow Syndromes (1997) with Catherine Johnson, PhD. Additionally, he has edited several books including The Neuropsychiatry of Personality Disorders (1994).

I was especially excited to hear that he has a new area of interest - psychiatric effects of exercise- that I have intuitively ( or you might say through trial and error) figured out for myself :D</p>

<p>so just wanted to pass the info along
He also has quite a sense of humor & for someone who just came to Seattle from Boston this morning, very good natured.</p>
