Thanks to Net Galley for an advanced copy of the updated version of this book。There is lots of useful information and techniques available in this book。 I read it without stopping to practice the strategies offered mostly because I was reading an ebook。 My ADHD brain requires hard copy and pencil in order to stop and practice。 Lots of the strategies are realistic and practical。 Some of the strategies seemed overwhelming to me， but again， that's my ADHD brain。 The book is American-centric， which Thanks to Net Galley for an advanced copy of the updated version of this book。There is lots of useful information and techniques available in this book。 I read it without stopping to practice the strategies offered mostly because I was reading an ebook。 My ADHD brain requires hard copy and pencil in order to stop and practice。 Lots of the strategies are realistic and practical。 Some of the strategies seemed overwhelming to me， but again， that's my ADHD brain。 The book is American-centric， which is always annoying to me as a non-American， but those sections are easily skipped。 （But seriously， America， get your shit together regarding medical care）。 。。。more

A huge thank you to the author， publisher， and Netgalley for me giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review。Where has this book been all my life？ I was only recently diagnosed with ADHD and finally getting that diagnosis was life changing。 It actively impacts my day to day life and is one of the reasons I dropped out of college after 5 years。 If I had had even half of the tips in this book I’m certain I would have had a much more pleasant experience。 Getting to this point with A huge thank you to the author， publisher， and Netgalley for me giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review。Where has this book been all my life？ I was only recently diagnosed with ADHD and finally getting that diagnosis was life changing。 It actively impacts my day to day life and is one of the reasons I dropped out of college after 5 years。 If I had had even half of the tips in this book I’m certain I would have had a much more pleasant experience。 Getting to this point without this book？ Was miserable。 I learned so much while reading it I was literally taking notes as I went。 What a gift！ Thank you for taking the time to help me and my fellow adults with ADHD because this is truly life changing work。 This book was easy to read and specifically designed for ADHD brains to focus and comprehend。 It was structured beautifully and had genuinely helpful and applicable tips every single chapter。Excuse me while I go gift this book to every single person in my family lol。 。。。more

I received an advance digital copy in exchange for an honest review via NetGalley。I have ADHD and I found several elements of this book to be very helpful。 Although I did find that overall it felt pretty basic。 I would recommend this book to someone that just found out the have ADHD。

This book seemed a bit basic， but it does touch on some solid and well-researched ideas。 The medication chapter was particularly interesting as it does a good job explaining what the various options do。 Throughout there are concrete examples of people who were able to improve themselves and their ADHD challenges through various techniques （mentoring， support groups， etc）。 Some of the most telling were that many people can cope when their situation is helped by parents or peers who give them the This book seemed a bit basic， but it does touch on some solid and well-researched ideas。 The medication chapter was particularly interesting as it does a good job explaining what the various options do。 Throughout there are concrete examples of people who were able to improve themselves and their ADHD challenges through various techniques （mentoring， support groups， etc）。 Some of the most telling were that many people can cope when their situation is helped by parents or peers who give them the supports they need， and it is when they enter college/a new job/a crisis that their neurodivergence proves a significant challenge。 This is not a perfect textbook， and not all applicable to everyone， but it is a great starter guide for people wondering if they have an overlooked diagnosis， or have a new diagnosis and need a place to start。 。。。more

Some really good content here。 I enjoyed this immensely。Considering the fact this book is about ADHD， I would think the book would fair better with more eye catching photos and fonts。 The current layout leaves a lot to be desired。Informative read， and very uplifting。 Afterthought- My review reminds me of the part in ‘As Good As It Gets’ when Melvin （played by Jack Nicholson） says ‘Doc， how can you as an Obsessive Compulsive and then act like I had some choice in barging in here。’ Not sure if I m Some really good content here。 I enjoyed this immensely。Considering the fact this book is about ADHD， I would think the book would fair better with more eye catching photos and fonts。 The current layout leaves a lot to be desired。Informative read， and very uplifting。 Afterthought- My review reminds me of the part in ‘As Good As It Gets’ when Melvin （played by Jack Nicholson） says ‘Doc， how can you as an Obsessive Compulsive and then act like I had some choice in barging in here。’ Not sure if I made my point （or am I spiraling） but to sum up: if you write a book about ADHD， make it more palatable to the intended audience （or we won’t read it） （oh squirrel！） Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the advanced copy。 。。。more

A good overview of ADHD from symptoms/examples of how symptoms show up to practical advice on breaking patterns。 Folks who already know the hallmarks of their own ADHD can skim a lot of the content to focus on the useful tips and exercises。

It's a good overview。 Especially with the target audience being ADHD people if the content is too dense or complex it will lose people。 I found the book well organized and provided helpful tips。 Both authors have phd's which separates it from the many non-experts opinions you usually find throughout the internet。 It's a good overview。 Especially with the target audience being ADHD people if the content is too dense or complex it will lose people。 I found the book well organized and provided helpful tips。 Both authors have phd's which separates it from the many non-experts opinions you usually find throughout the internet。 。。。more

I’ve been around awhile， and while I didn’t know I had ADHD until recently， I’ve already created “coping mechanisms” that work well for me on my own。 For example， I’ve been using Todoist for over five years and would be nowhere without this amazing todo list app/website。 I’ve also recently discovered the app Alarmed， and am working on time management with it by having alarms go off when I need to walk and feed the dog among other things。 So， this book is great for folks who don’t have coping mec I’ve been around awhile， and while I didn’t know I had ADHD until recently， I’ve already created “coping mechanisms” that work well for me on my own。 For example， I’ve been using Todoist for over five years and would be nowhere without this amazing todo list app/website。 I’ve also recently discovered the app Alarmed， and am working on time management with it by having alarms go off when I need to walk and feed the dog among other things。 So， this book is great for folks who don’t have coping mechanisms in place yet， but I’m already there， so this wasn’t all that helpful for me。But boy， do I identify with Winnie the Pooh， or what？！ LOL。 Silly ol’ bear！ It’s probably ironic that I’ve started calling my brain “my silly brain” recently。 But also， Homer Simpson’s procrastination style makes sense to me too。 Hmmm。。 。。。more

This is the slowest I have ever read a book-be aide I am digesting and using the advice on every single page。 This is so useful and so informative I tried to find the authors on twitter to thank them。 So very helpful。

This book tries to micromanage you in the worst way。 It gave me anxiety。 This is the worst possible way for me to deal with ADHD。 No thanks。

First off I'd like to state that I do not think I have adhd。 I chanced upon this book at the library as it looked interesting and offered time management skills。 The book was fairly easy to read and was even divided into 10 minute chunks for those who are not able to read for long periods。 What i liked about the structure of the book was that it had many headings and it allowed me to stop comfortably during unexpected moments without being forced to read the entire text to stop at the next page。 First off I'd like to state that I do not think I have adhd。 I chanced upon this book at the library as it looked interesting and offered time management skills。 The book was fairly easy to read and was even divided into 10 minute chunks for those who are not able to read for long periods。 What i liked about the structure of the book was that it had many headings and it allowed me to stop comfortably during unexpected moments without being forced to read the entire text to stop at the next page。 This also helped me plan on how much to read at a time。 The content i enjoyed in the book were the time management skills with respect to procrastination and the goal setting aspect。 Strategies on motivation were also included to aid in deterring procrastination or at least minimising it。 I would recommend this not just to those who suffer from adhd but to anyone who has no idea on how to effectively manage their time as it is an incredible resource。 。。。more

I found several things useful and implemented them。 surprising side effect was an immediate better relationship at home。 very very good！

This book is very focused on strategies， which is a good thing。 I think the most helpful section is the second one， which outlines strategies for different spheres of life， like study and relationships。 A bit overwhelming to read all at once， though--I think it would be better to work through it slowly like the authors suggest。

Excellent resource for Adult ADHD。 Checklists are beautiful things。 This book introduced me to the idea of turning over the dinner table， the way that wait staff turn over a table for new diners。 Maybe it's because of my past restaurant work， but this was an aha！ moment for me。 I'm getting more consistent with taking a few minutes to put things away before bedtime， and I've got my kids set up with their own launch pad area -- when they finish homework， the last thing they do is put everything aw Excellent resource for Adult ADHD。 Checklists are beautiful things。 This book introduced me to the idea of turning over the dinner table， the way that wait staff turn over a table for new diners。 Maybe it's because of my past restaurant work， but this was an aha！ moment for me。 I'm getting more consistent with taking a few minutes to put things away before bedtime， and I've got my kids set up with their own launch pad area -- when they finish homework， the last thing they do is put everything away and set up their backpacks， lunchboxes， and any other needed items on the sideboard。 So simple， but it makes mornings go SO much easier。 。。。more
