Living Daily With Adult ADD or ADHD: 365 Tips o the Day

by Douglas A. Puryear

Doug Puryear is a psychiatrist who discovered at age sixty-four that he has ADHD. Then he finally understood a lot of the problems he'd had and the strategies he'd developed to cope with them. This is what he shares in this book. "If you are struggling with ADHD, this is the book for you. I have a bookshelf full of books on ADHD that rehash what is in all the other books on my shelf. What those books never got to was consistently good advice for dealing with my ADHD, but that is exactly what Dr. Puryear’s 'Living Daily with Adult ADD or 365 Tips o the Day' does. Here you will find practical, workable approaches for dealing with the things in your life that would otherwise drive you, those closest to you and everyone else who depends on you crazy. And it’s all in small doses – one for each day of the year. Change is possible. Success is possible. Get it. Do it. You will be so glad you did." - The Rev. Thomas B. Woodward, BA cum laude Harvard; M Div, author, ADDer

Living Daily With Adult ADD or ADHD: 365 Tips o the Day by Douglas A Puryear, MD is a self help book chalk full of tips and strategies to assist the adult with ADD/ADHD. It is written as a daily guide, a strategy for each and every day, one step at a time. Douglas Puryear uses simple English,no jargon, and he adds a touch of humor. He gives a very positive spin which allows a great deal of motivation to the reader.The tone is realistic and friendly. There are many helpful links and varying resources extending more information about ADD/ADHD. Since he is a doctor he adds a medical spin to his daily tips. As an adult with ADD he gives the reader, whether you have ADD or not, a clear cut picture of what it's like.

On a personal level I have worked with students over the course of my teaching career who have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and most frequently find them to struggle with simple organization, many times have horrendous handwriting, besides always being focused on something erroneous. They are the students who ask the completely off topic questions, carry the bag or binder with everything shoved inside it, seldom bring their materials to class, forget their homework and this list goes on. If you are a parent or adult working with these youngsters whom I just described than I highly recommend this book.

I found I use some of his strategies on a daily basis and I think many people do so I recommend this book to anyone especially those who are organizationally challenged or struggle with ADD/ADHD or some type of learning disability. This book really is good stuff!
