Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | 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. | | | |

 A pocket-sized book of ADD tips (if you have largish pockets) Aug 10, 2006
By dame ethel
I really like this book. It is pretty short, but it contains some very good ideas. I read it a few days ago, and picked up a few tips which I've been using. The brevity helps to avoid information overload, but there are plenty of citations throughout so that the reader can look into the research if they decide to.
The layout is great. It's easily readable from cover to cover in one day, but it is also very easy to jump straight to the relevant idea when you need it. I like the fact that there are exercises at the end of each chapter to help with synthesising the information.
My only complaint is that, in the descriptions of ADHD, hyperactivity is normally assumed, so for inattentive types it can be hard to relate to some of the examples. But the tips have been useful and they seem like they would be applicable for all types of ADHD.

practical and effective Jul 31, 2006
By D. So
Hi, i'm reading alot of books on adhd and this was one of the most practical books i've ever read on the subject. In fact it's so practical that I wished all authors will follow this example because it's not so lengthy where it's boring, it's the most no nonsense book i've read on the subject. I've read a similar book from Thom Hartmann's add sucess stories and this book was way better organised into 10 practical chapters. The suggestions were also similar yet so much better in this book.
After reading this book, I for the first time in my life cleared all cluttered from all of my rooms and still kept it tidy. I should read up on managing money because i'm overspending way too much this month. It's good because it's almost like a reference manual, you can alway go back and check the chapter that you need to work on. Okay it doesn't get overly specific, still I don't have many complaints about this book. You won't be disappointed with this book, keep it handy, it's a good reference manual and it's among the best i've read so far.

Don't lose this book Mar 09, 2006
By Richard A. Moskovitz
In 10 Simple Solutions to Adult ADD, Dr. Stephanie Sarkis provides a roadmap for people with ADD to reclaim control of their chaotic and often frustrating lives. Her tips are straightforward, practical, and doled out in bite-sized morsels that can be consumed easily within the attention span of someone with ADD. Despite the title, this book contains valuable tips for anyone who wants to improve their efficiency of daily living. Who wouldn't benefit from learning how to organize, prioritize, simplify, and unclutter their lives and their surroundings? But if you do have ADD, either read Chapter 4 first or buy two or three copies in case you misplace it before you finish reading it.
Richard Moskovitz, M.D., psychiatrist and author of Carousel Music and Lost in the Mirror, 2nd Edition: An Inside Look at Borderline Personality Disorder

 Overly simplistic Jan 09, 2007
By Synchronized
This book is a strange mix between hints from Heloise and ADD suggestions, ranging from advice to use 'sock buddies' to keep your socks together and storing clothing in vacuum seal bags, to parking in the same place in every parking lot (so you can find your car) and dressing your children in bright colors when going into busy areas (so you can find your children). On the plus side, it's very simple reading. On the minus side, it's superficial and only occasionally practical. If you want more solid solutions, try a different book. My favorite: ADD-friendly ways to simplify your life.

To the Point Feb 16, 2007
By Charlean Souligne
I found this book to be very helpful. As a person with ADD, and who has family members with ADD I have explored many techniques, many ideas, many ways to cope. However, as I tell everyone, sometimes you need a tune-up. This is a tune-up book. You can grab it off the shelf, turn to the right chapter and get a refresher on the dos and don'ts one needs to live in the "normal" world. For whichever problem is dominant at the time, you can find solutions.
The solutions are quick and easy to read. They are helpful, without prolonging the information. There are other sources available on this subject, but they take so long to read and then digest and then put into practice, that by the time you get to the end of the book, you are either over stimulated or you forgot why you started reading the book in the first place. Not so with this book. When Ms. Sarkis says 10 simple solutions, that is exactly what she means. Now if you want to read and digest more detailed tomes, be my guest, but for me, quick and to the point is what I need.
When I want a reminder, or a little jolt of reality to stop the clutter or organize my thoughts, this will do it. Rarely do I have time to sit and read the more in depth books on this subject. But I do need to keep myself on track and this is an immensely helpful tool.
Whether you are looking for self help or for ideas to help others, here it is.
