Read if you think you or a loved one has ADHD.

Wow! Brain explosion the entire read! Worth the read, especially if you think you may have an ADHD brain. Even if not, it’s a good read to understand others! Quick too! And Jessie is kinda funny too :)

realistic examples

This was a great, short book to educate people about ADHD. I greatly appreciated the stories and references.

Oh my goodness! Are you following me?

I swear this man has been following me around and scanned my brain! Nearly every page of this book was a story or example of something that I have done, was told I do, or struggle with. I literally said, "That's me" dozens of times.

If you have every wondered why you can't do the same things as everyone else around you, I urge you to read this book.

You are not alone!

Should be required reading for every educator.

Jesse J. Anderson’s Extra Focus isn’t just another book about ADHD—it’s the book I wish every educator, parent, and curious friend would read. I listened to it on Audible, and the experience felt like having a wise, funny, compassionate friend finally explain what it’s actually like to live with an ADHD brain.Jesse doesn’t sugarcoat the struggles, but he doesn’t dwell on defeat either. His stories are honest, sometimes hilariously relatable, and always practical. He cuts through the usual stereotypes and shame, offering real strategies that actually make sense in daily life. The audiobook’s tone is personable and genuine, which makes all the difference—especially for listeners who might have spent their whole lives feeling misunderstood.This book should be required reading for every educator. If teachers, counselors, and administrators spent just a few hours with Jesse’s insights, I truly believe classrooms everywhere would become more inclusive, supportive places for neurodivergent students. Extra Focus has the power to change not just how people with ADHD view themselves, but how the world sees us, too. If you care about helping people thrive—especially kids who learn and think differently—put this at the top of your reading (or listening) list.

How much it gave me tools

In few last chapters I found a lot of answers for my questionse about what happened to me and how I handled it

Directly to the pint while still being compassionate and thorough

Because this us written by someone with ADHD and not a Dr - the author gives the perfect amounts of supporting information to each topic without it becoming overwhelming. Especially helpful is the review of key points at the end of each chapter - which is essential for any learning type audio book - ESP. for those who often zone out and miss whole-chapters (eh-hum - ADHD’rs 🙋🏻‍♀️.

Quick paced and super helpful

Fantastic read and extremely helpful. I’m glad I found this book and the other resources available online

It was just what I was looking for.
Information to help me understand my son and what his world is like

Amazing, concise, practical and though provoking. What an amazing journey I just started on as a result of reading this book. I just found the group of people to where I belong. can't wait to get more into the details of these assessments, tools and tips/tricks. it really hit the nail on the head for me. Thanks Jesse!!!!

What I needed to hear

One of the few books on ADHD that made me emotional but the advice given was so freeing. It seems there is a ton of people with ADHD, I just wish I knew more people like me. This book is my new best bud!
