Based on his years of helping clients develop constructive ways to deal with distraction, Dr. Hallowell provides a set of practical and reliable techniques to show how to sustain a productive mental state.

Are you smart, scattered, and struggling? You're not alone. Cutting-edge research shows that today's 24/7 wired world and the growing demands of work and family life may simply max out the part of the brain that manages complex tasks. That's especially true for those lacking strong executive skills - the core brain-based abilities needed to maintain focus, meet deadlines, and stay cool under pressure.

The best book I've read on the subject yet!
Would you try another book from Gina Pera and/or Pam Ward?
Absolutely.
What could Gina Pera have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
As with all audio books, a pdf downloadable reference would be nice.
What didn’t you like about Pam Ward’s performance?
Pam is one of the best narrator's out there as she is clear to understand, uses appropriate intonation at the right times and keeps the material interesting and moving.
Any additional comments?
I've know for about 6 years that I have ADD. However, until now, I have never really understood the true significance of ADD throughout my life and the impact on others. Gina's book has helped me see that ADD is likely a significant piece if not the smoking gun underneath years and years of anxiety, depression, poor performance, great performance, outbursts, confusion, lack of direction. low self esteem, great ideas (according to me) and, well, you know the list. It's clear I haven't always been treating the appropriate issue.
Thank you Gina for all the research and effort it took to produce your book and thank you for providing a little clarity to a rather unfocused mind. Wow, what a difference it would have made 40 some years ago when us 40+ somethings were in grade school!
A must read for those with ADD, think they might have ADD or are living with someone who has ADD.

Not a fluffy treatment of ADD/ADHD
Very difficult topic, well documented and expanded. However, after a few hours it felt like a hammer hitting me on the head, I was waiting for some "good" news, but I feel more discouraged about my condition the more I listen. I'm sure the author is not intending to do so, but to inform well so we know what we're dealing with. I'll be looking for encouragement in connected fields of therapy and personal development. Still, I recommend this book.

Negative VENT. Not helpful.
The author succeeds in normalizing the struggles, but does so in a vent sort of way. I can see it causing more disconnect in an already struggling relationship. There are lots of good books and therapists out there. Keep searching. Hallowell and Orlov are helpful and real.

Very insightful!
14 hours?! My friend recommended I read this, but coming in at 14 hours long I couldn't make myself download it much less start it. Then after weeks of kindly suggesting and gentle reminders, one day she exasperatedly exclaimed, "Read the damn book!" Having just been diagnosed with ADD at age 41 this book was tremendously helpful in meeting myself for the first time. I laughed out loud several times in the first section as I saw myself so clearly in the case study stories. The middle section was a little discouraging (and humbling) realizing the effect my decisions and behavior have had on my family and relationships. The last section was a bit much to take in with all the drug names and treatment options, so I'll need to listen to it again. Overall, I'm so delighted I read it (at 1.45 speed :) ) and feel hopeful that with some behavior skills from a trained professional in my tool belt and a proper dosage of medication, I will be able to more fully utilize my best self more often. This feels so hopeful! Now, stop reading reviews and buy the damn book already!

Useful examples of the ADHD partnership challenges
I liked how the book had taken common and typical examples of scenarios that arise. The book helped me place my thumb on the situations I would see with my partner. Helping me know that his behavior was symptomatic and not intentional. Therefore, I felt that these situations can improve with proper treatment and medicine.

This is a great book for anyone struggling with or trying to understand ADD. However, the long numbered lists embedded within other lists made me think I had ADD. Otherwise, it is full of useful information and a great introduction to the topic.

Great point of view about adult adhd
This should be one of the first self help books anyone reads. You can't help yourself when you have ADHD. I now see that it runs in both sides of my family and the shortened life spans and lost jobs and divorces were all avoidable had they been diagnosed and treated.

Not What I Expected: Descriptions Versus Solutions
Based upon the title and description, I was expecting to learn more practical steps on how to manage ADD and behaviors with relationships. Instead the book was primary stories that provided examples of characteristics of individuals with ADD.
Also, I found the narrator's voice to be difficult or me to listen too. I'm just, being honest. What the book did well was provide lots of examples of how family members experience ADD and how it affects and impacts those individuals. So, if that is what you are wanting, this is a great book.
