Useful because it sums up almost all ADHD tricks but good GOD there is so much talking this book could've been so much less wordy

Ari Tuckman does a fantastic job of explaining executive functioning and helping adults with ADHD develop practical and effective compensation strategies. I love that he does not take the one size fits all approach, instead he offers a variety of options. Also, this book encourages you to think about your ADHD and evaluate your strategies. One of the best books out there. Tuckman really "gets" ADHD.

Have ADHD? Know someone with symptoms? This book could save their career and their relationships by helping develop concrete strategies to deal with inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsiveness. The highly respected author knows what he is talking about! His style is clear, with a touch of humor. Very user-friendly!
