Resumen del Editor

Do you:

Have trouble paying attention and staying on task?

Suffer from disorganization, procrastination, or forgetfulness?

Have difficulty with restlessness or trouble managing strong feelings such as anger and frustration?

Struggle with self-doubt and difficulty following through?

In a way that causes problems in your relationships or your work?

If so, you may have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)—like an estimated 8 million adults in this country. Physician-researcher Dr. Lidia Zylowska has created an 8-step program for using mindfulness practice (attention and awareness training) to overcome the symptoms of ADHD. The program includes practices such as sitting meditation, body awareness, thoughtful speaking and listening, development of self-acceptance, mindful self-coaching, cultivation of a balanced view of thoughts and emotions, and more. Dr. Zylowska educates listeners about ADHD, helping them to understand how their ADHD brain works and how they can use mindful awareness to work with their challenges. She also explains how the mindful approach can be combined with other treatments, including medications, to boost self-improvement.

This book is accompanied by an audio program of guided mindfulness exercises for successfully managing ADHD.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

101 on mindfulness

If you’re new to mindfulness, this might be a good intro for you. I was hoping for techniques, theory, and research specific to the adaptation of mindfulness practices for an ADHD population, but I found it pretty disappointing on this front. Admittedly I chose to stop reading halfway through, so maybe the author does a deeper dive later on in the book.

how to mask, adhd style

basically another diatribe on how ND people can sucessfully mask as NTs. i wish it was emphasized that adhd is not a deficit in mindfulness, even though mindfulness can be helpful.
