 Go get a beeper Aug 29, 2010
Read this book the other day because I was drawn to the title. This book is a bit outdated. However, I did not see any new tips that I have not read in other books except the suggestion that you carry a beeper. that's right a beeper. so if you're at the mall with someone and they can't find you, they can beep you so you know they're looking for you. now I'm not sure when this book was written but that beeper part was hilarious. I don't think the author knows there are cell phones. Or perhaps she does and is in cahoots with the beeper industry and trying to increase sales. The author also tries to explain what a "PDA" is and why useful (again ignoring the smartphone and cell phone industry overall) and also explains computers and fax machines. save your money in my opinion. you'll need it so you can save up and get a beeper at an antiques shop somewhere.

 Overly Simplistic and Patronizing Aug 03, 2010
While this book has some useful tips regarding organization, productivity, and changes for a healthy lifestyle, I was so put off by the tone that I never finished reading it. Some of the tips are either very obvious ("Be cautious with your social security number" / "Protect your credit cards" / "Hold on to your jewelry") or patronizing ("Tie a ribbon around your car antenna so that you don't lose your car"), and the writing style that is so simplistic that it lacks transitions and varied sentence structure. In short, this book seemed at times like an insult to my intelligence. I understand the benefits of writing a book with lots of white space and short sections with multiple subheadings, especially when writing for an ADHD audience; however, a book does not need to be written on a fourth- or fifth-grade reading level in order to be ADHD friendly.
Furthermore, the author sometimes gives overly simplistic advice regarding topics about which she is not necessarily an expert. For example, she instructs readers to avoid extended warranties, citing a Consumer Reports article that said they are a waste of money. While it is true that extended warranties are generally a bad deal, it is also true that some of us accident-prone ADHD-ers have learned from experience that we could really benefit from having an accidental protection plan for our laptops and other expensive portable electronics! This could have been mentioned next to the blanket statement that extended warranties are always a ripoff.
Her advice on good careers for ADHD-ers gives a brief list of ADHD-friendly careers, a list which seems to lack careful thought and/or research. The jobs she suggests may be good for people whose ADHD problems are mainly caused by hyperactivity, but several seem very poor choices for those who are inattentive. She suggests that being a waitress is a good ADHD job, but that seems like a poor fit for someone who has difficulties with short-term memory or auditory processing, as many people with ADHD do. She also suggests teaching, a job for which you need excellent organizational, time management, and long-range planning skills, very good control over your emotions, the ability to focus in an environment that is sometimes full of distractions, and the ability keep both yourself and 30 students on task at any given time. Sounds like a perfect fit for someone who has been struggling with these very skills for their entire life.
 Excellent resource Jul 27, 2010
This book clearly and quickly helps the reader to understand ADHD & ADD and then provides helpful information on dealing with the problems. Any adult reading this will be able to implement any/all strategies that apply. I bought a copy for someone in my family who had recently spoken tio me about having ADD.
Great book for Adult ADHD Jul 26, 2010
I really do not know if I have ADHD, but after reading this book I sure know a lot more about it and it's insidious nature. I appreciated that the chapters were short and digestible. It seemed like every paragraph was chronicling another part of my life that I have been struggling with for over 30 years. I am getting help thanks to this book and am better prepared for the challenges ahead. I recommend this as a first book for anyone who has or is near ADHD. This will help the guilt of those afflicted and open the eyes of those who care for them.
Simple, Short & Sanity Producing!!! Jun 05, 2010
W have read other ADHD publications, and at times get lost in the detail.
This author has lived w/ the disorder and speaks the TRUTH in a straight
forward, simply manner. A great book...to the point and productive.
