"This is the book on ADD that I always hoped I was buying." -The Very Rev. Thomas B. Woodward BA cum laude Harvard University; M Div, author, teacher, ADDer"I like the conversational way the writing flows. Very down to earth and an easy read." -Bonnie Mincu, Senior Certified ADHD Coach, thrivewithadd.com."It's funny. It made me laugh. And I found helpful things in there." -Tom Costello, BA, U of Minnesota; CPA, ADDer"A very good book. I will be happy to recommend it to my patients." -John Evaldson, MD, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, ADD expert I initially wrote this book to help my patients, giving them the information and strategies I wanted them to have. Then I realized it could help lots of people with ADD or ADHD.xa0 And the feedback has been great - it has been helping people make their lives better.So I started a blog, with ADD Tips o the Day, and then collected the best of them for the next book, Living Daily with Adult ADD or ADHD.Learning how to identify ADD ADHD problems and then develop strategies to cope with them can make your life better. "I was sixty-four years old when I realized that I have ADHD. Suddenly a lot of things made sense. Why I carry a pocket full of index cards. Why I couldn't make a model airplane like the other kids. Why I killed a pregnant guppy fish.. Why I kept losing my car keys. And more." -Douglas A Puryear MD, psychiatrist, ADHDer Read more

Features & Highlights

  • This book is about using strategies for adult ADD or ADHD to make your life better.  It has more information, too, especially about studying and learning, but it's really about strategies.It is personal; it tells of how I and my patients and my friends cope, and sometimes fail to cope, with our ADD ADHD.So it is not particularly scientific, and doesn't go much into the basics, like the history of ADD or how it's diagnosed, or causes, or treatment, though it does have some of that.But what I'm trying to say is, it is about strategies, what you can do to make your life better.

Best Adult ADD Book I've Seen (and read and FINISHED!!!)

This book opened my eyes and taught me so much about myself. It has about 70 chapters and they are short and simple - just right for a person with Adult ADD! Dr. Puryear writes in a humble but very insightful manner. I have put in practice several of tips I read. When I exhibit ADD behaviors, I can recognize them better and deal with them more effectively. If you or someone you know has this condition, I highly recommend reading it.

This is one of the best ADD books I have seen, read and FINISHED - if you have ADD, then you know what I mean.
