Although I seem to have intuitively implemented many of the CBT strategies recommended in this book (e.g., having a filing system, using a calendar, to-do lists, etc.), I still learned many new strategies that are helping me in my day-to-day life. While I haven't had the need or opportunity to use all of them, I know there will be times in the future when I will.

Now my plan is to go back through the book, review my notes, and recommit to implementing some of the strategies that I haven't kept up with, such as keeping a notebook, prioritizing tasks, and using the distractibility delay.

I definitely recommend this book for anyone who is trying to find helpful and practical ways to manage his or her ADHD.

Studied this one for work and gave me a helpful frame to put my ADHD-treatment in. This book is very useful, especially when you work with CBT. It could have been shorter though. There is a lot of repetition of things that are already said. The cumulative lists for homework are not necessary in my humble opinion.

If you don't officially have AD(H)D, but you do have trouble concentrating, organizing your home/work and are procrastinating all the time, this book contains a lot of skills which will help you like a self-help-book. There is a good Dutch translation btw, which is not on GoodReads.

Extremely clear, concise and effective skills. This treatment manual can improve ADHD symptom management significantly and bring ASRS screens down.

This book is mostly tips that you see everyone saying, I already do the advice the book recommends and I struggle a lot with my ADHD, was really hoping for something impactful.
This book has tips like:
-always use a calendar and set reminders on your phone
-make one to do list and prioritize
-use the pomodoro technique
-break big tasks into small tasks
- make sure objects have one place they live
- Check for cognitive distortions

Like I already do all of that and sure it helps slightly but I'm reading ADHD books because I'm struggling so it's kinda sad to just be given the same advice as a quick Google search.

I was only diagnosed recently so it's not like I've done lots of research, the book is very surface level stuff.

Most of the tips i already applied before even reading these. I think there are some parts which are unnecessary text, because repeats information from earlier chapters. Also as the title says mastering your ADULT ADHD i would like more tips or sequences for adults like compilations of reccomendations of programms for organizing.

Recommended by the clinic that diagnosed my ADHD - by far the most useful and action-oriented book I have tried and the only ADHD book that I have actually made all the way through. This is the one I refer my fellow ADHD friends to!

[Kevin Black · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is really well written by people who know what they're talking about. It lays out a treatment program that not only makes sense, it's been shown to help.
