Watered down?

2009-04-17
I picked this book up along with several others just to explore the possibility of having Adult ADD. Of them all, this one was among the least helpful because it was a bit too simple. It leans toward the camp of "snap out of, it's just ADD!" I felt a bit offended by the tone. Fortunately, there are many other good texts out there to fill in the 'gap.' One of my favorites has become What Does Everybody Know That I Don't, or something along those lines. It takes a more realistic approach to real life inside the ADD mind. Still, 10 Simple Solutions is not horrible, there are a couple of nuggets to be gleaned if you're willing to do the mining.

Just what I had hoped!

I purchased this book for a book review I had to do in my graduate class. Not only did I end up loving the book but while reading it I called up many friends and family members to share information with them. I suspect I could have slight ADD after this book, but I did get through the whole thing in one sitting! It was a fun read, and it provides great examples and how to's! Even if you do not have ADD I highly recommend this book, it is very helpful for life with tips on organization, managing finances, etc. It is not dragged out with theories and lingo you can not understand, it is straightforward and speaks the truth! Two thumbs up for this book, a great read and a wonderful book to keep in your personal library, if not for you personally, it is extremely helpful to help you work with people who have ADD! :)

I love this book.It arrived quickly, and in great condition. If I didn't have ADD, I would have already left a review. Sorry, working on that.

This book was a quick, simple read - just what the ADD need! It's not going to solve your ADD problem 100%, but it certainly provides a great start to improving your current situation.

This is a book I wish I'd owned years and years ago. It would have changed my life back then. This book understands the goings-on in the mind of a person with ADD. It cuts to the chase giving advice that can be put into play on the spot. Great handbook.

No Help

People think of ADD as a kid’s problem. But kids grow up. Many adults also struggle with ADD. There are book resources on the market for these folks. But they are often too long. Or too complicated. Or too dry and clinical. Adults with ADD need straightforward tools for coping with real experiences. This book offers exactly what they need.

Each chapter takes up an issue pertinent to adults with ADD: "My mind wanders" "I'm always misplacing things." "I have trouble keeping friends." "I have a hard time getting started." In no more than five to seven pages, the book outlines strategies for each problem that are simple to put into practice. If you’re struggling with adult ADD, the information in this book offers you immediate and lasting rewards: better concentration, sharper memory, enhanced focus, and greater self-confidence.

Decent, depending on what kind of help you need 2008-02-18
This was one of the first books I read on Adult ADD, and I liked it. It did have allot of good ideas, and covers just about all areas. If you need help with organization and time management, I'd recommend "ADD Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life" before this book, but if your focus isn't on just those two issues, this book has broader info, covering other topics, such as the workplace and social skills. So, get this book depending on your needs.

Excellent place to begin 2008-02-06
What makes this a great book is that it really outlines all of the major implications of having ADD and gives some ideas for how to address them. It is short, and hence a quick read that will get you started thinking about where to go next in researching specific ADD-related issues.

Best ADD book out there 2008-01-31
This book is a short, easy read, filled with direct solutions and tips. This is the most helpful ADD book I've come across. I bought over 10 and returned them all except for this one and ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life (which I like just as much, but goes more in depth). I refer to this book very often. Its suggestions have saved my household because they are actually doable. Note: I highly suggest women skip the books written for women with ADD...they were too long, chatty, and often absurd. This book give you the specific strategies you need for keeping your life, mind and home organized.

A must read for those with ADD 2008-01-18
A great book to give family members of those with ADD. I could really relate to the information being that I'm in my 30's and leaving with ADD. The medicane very helps, if you have ADD get help don't just live life, get the medicane and love life.
